About this program

The Master of Clinical Exercise Physiology at the University of Technology Sydney is designed for graduates looking to advance their expertise in exercise science and apply it to clinical health contexts. This comprehensive program equips students with advanced knowledge in exercise assessment, prescription, and delivery for populations with chronic diseases and complex health conditions. The curriculum covers topics such as exercise interventions for cardiometabolic, musculoskeletal, neurological and respiratory conditions, as well as exercise programming, clinical placement, and advanced patient management skills.

Australian master's degrees such as this typically run for 1.5 years full-time, with studies delivered through trimesters or semesters. Students complete a series of units of study, each contributing a set number of credit points towards degree completion. A distinguishing aspect of this program is its focus on practical skills development through work-integrated learning. Students undertake professional placements in clinical settings, ensuring they gain supervised hands-on experience with diverse client populations in hospitals, rehabilitation centres, community health, and private practice environments.

With a strong emphasis on professional standards, graduates develop advanced skills in communication, clinical reasoning, culturally safe practice, and evidence-based exercise intervention. The program suits science and health science graduates seeking Accredited Exercise Physiologist (AEP) status and those wanting to work at the intersection of exercise and health, supporting clients with chronic illnesses or injuries. Students benefit from connections to Sydney's healthcare sector and opportunities for professional networking.

International students can work up to 48 hours per fortnight during study and may be eligible for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) post-graduation, broadening their career prospects in Australia’s growing allied health sector.
