Key Facts

Clinical exercise physiologists are health professionals who design and deliver exercise-based interventions, health education, and lifestyle support for people managing or at risk of illness, injury, or disability. They work in diverse settings, with a strong focus on people facing high levels of chronic health risk, including those with cancer, cardiovascular disease, mental illness, physical disabilities, and workplace injuries.

Combining the best of online and in-person learning, the Postgraduate Diploma in Clinical Exercise Physiology programme from University of Canterbury provides both the academic expertise and clinical experience required for accreditation. Graduates can apply for accreditation with Sport and Exercise Science New Zealand, Clinical Exercise Physiology New Zealand, or international accreditation bodies such as Clinical Exercise Physiology UK (provided you meet their additional requirements).
