The advice I would give to anybody thinking of studying the Exercise as Medicine degree is to take all the opportunities that the course provides, whether that be getting involved in research or attending as many of the open lab sessions as possible.
There is also so much to get involved with on campus from sports and societies to the Coach and Volunteer Academy – I’d recommend trying out as much as you can.
During my time at Loughborough, I played tennis in the development squad and got actively involved with the tennis coaching programme. Within this, I was able to achieve my Level 3 Tennis Coaching qualification which the University supported me through.
* The MSc in Exercise as Medicine has now been renamed as the MSc in Clinical Exercise Physiology to align with the accrediting body Clinical Exercise Physiology – UK and their programme accreditation requirements, as well as to better reflect the requirements of graduate employers.
