This postgraduate qualification equips students with the knowledge and skills required to make meaningful contributions to cardiac rehabilitation practice. This course includes disease-specific theory and practice components together with a strong focus on research, integrated care approaches, and evidence-informed innovation in rehabilitative service delivery. Whilst the main focus is cardiovascular and pulmonary disease prevention and rehabilitation, key learning outcomes achieved apply to chronic disease management more widely.  

 

The course runs from January to May each year and is delivered online. Structured weekly directed study is coupled with a schedule of group-based lectures, tutorials, and interactive workshops. These group-based sessions are delivered in real-time via live sessions and are timetabled for Thursdays and Fridays (3 pm – 8 pm) with occasional Saturdays (10 am – 3 pm). After successful completion of this programme students can continue their education to the master's level and apply for MSc Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation or MSc Preventive Cardiology.
