Overview

Exercise has evolved into a global industry, with exercise scientists, advanced practitioners and researchers playing an increasingly crucial role in promoting wellbeing, preventing disease and prolonging the lives of those with life-limiting disease. Long-term health conditions such as cardiovascular, respiratory, metabolic, musculoskeletal and neurological diseases, as well as cancer, mental health, and frailty are becoming more prevalent worldwide.

These diseases are further exacerbated by low levels of physical activity, a sedentary lifestyle and an ageing population. As a result, there are more employment opportunities in the health and exercise sector than ever before.

Career opportunities

Students from the Exercise Medicine programme offered by the University of Chester now work in the NHS, Armed Forces, Physiotherapy, Cardiac Rehabilitation, Education, and various fitness organisations or are self-employed personal trainers. In addition, many have gone on to complete further research on MPhil/PhD courses. Additional occupation routes could also include (which may require additional training):

Exercise Rehabilitation (across a range of chronic diseases, e.g. Cardiac, Cancer and Obesity & Diabetes in the NHS, BUPA, Nuffield Health, Spire and other similar establishments)
