About this program
The Master of Clinical Exercise Science and Rehabilitation at Victoria University prepares graduates to work as accredited exercise physiologists. Students learn to assess and prescribe exercise and physical activity for people with chronic conditions or complex care needs, and to work in community and clinical settings with clients who have musculoskeletal injuries, neurological, metabolic or cardiovascular conditions, and comorbidities. The evidence-based program includes significant practical experience through clinical placements, and an optional research component that provides a pathway toward a PhD.
