About this course

As a Clinical Physiologist, you will play a vital role in the prevention, diagnosis, therapy, monitoring and rehabilitation of patients with a wide range of medical conditions. This programme is unique as it allows you to experience both cardiac and respiratory/sleep physiology before choosing your speciality in either cardiac physiology or respiratory/sleep physiology. Over the three years of the degree, you will spend time on placement learning and focusing on clinical skills.

On graduation, you will be eligible to register with the Academy for Healthcare Science (AHCS) and work as a healthcare scientist. Previous graduates have undertaken further work-based learning, including the NHS funded Scientist Training Programme, accredited by the National School of Healthcare Science (NSHCS).

Course highlights

  • Clinical experience in both cardiac physiology and respiratory/sleep physiology during the first year, with the choice to specialise in either route.

  • Accredited by the AHCS and RCCP, with eligibility to apply for professional registration upon graduation.

  • Excellent professional and career prospects; many students have healthcare science jobs lined up prior to graduating.
