Programme information
The University of Auckland’s Clinical Exercise Physiology programme is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP). This internationally recognised accreditation means that our academic programme and practical learning experiences meet the requirements of professional organisations around the world, including the American College of Sports Medicine, the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology, and Exercise & Sports Science Australia.
Course enrolment
Students will enrol in a 200-hour clinical practicum, as well as two academic courses to meet both theoretical and practical requirements for their degree and professional registration. Practicum hours will take place at our Health and Rehabilitation Clinic, where students will deliver exercise rehabilitation services to clinical populations, especially individuals who have cardiac, musculoskeletal, neurological, pulmonary, immunological, neoplastic, mood, and metabolic disorders, as well as post-surgical cases.
Students may enrol in one or both semesters, and can enter the programme in either semester. In addition to the practicum, students will enrol in other EXERSCI courses.
