Is there funding available? Four of the modules contributing to the MSc are included in the University’s CPD portfolio (see table on page 31). For NHS employees funding might be available via your employer or the NHS East of England.
Funding support for this course is also available in the form of a School bursary to support one year’s full-time study, available to UK and EU students only. Part of the bursary is used to train the recipient as a qualified Phase IV cardiac rehabilitation instructor, in return for which they will be required to work at our University’s on-campus cardiac rehabilitation centre, The Phoenix Club.
What career opportunities are there? Our graduates typically work in NHS cardiac rehabilitation services as health improvement facilitators or as specialist physiotherapists.

Cardiac Rehabilitation modules
The following modules contribute towards MSc Cardiac Rehabilitation but can also be taken as stand-alone modules for CPD purposes.
Why study the modules at Essex? These modules aim to enable suitably qualified physical activity and health care specialists to administrate, organise, and deliver cardiac rehabilitation programmes, improving the prognosis for cardiac patients by adding to the knowledge of these experts in the delivery of their services to the clients. The modules are

appropriate for graduates from a variety of life science or health backgrounds (including sports science, nursing, physiotherapy and occupational therapy).
How much will it cost? Please contact us for details of the tuition fees.
Typical entry requirements Lower Second Class Honours degree (or equivalent) in a relevant subject (such as a life science, sports and exercise science or allied health care science degree), preferably supported by relevant work experience
Where appropriate an English language requirement of TOEFL (570) or IELTS (6.5)
Cardiovascular Anatomy, Physiology and Pharmacology
Study mode: modular Module length: one term Number of credits: 15 Start date: October 2013 Campus: Colchester
What will I learn?
In order to understand the disease processes that result in the need for cardiac rehabilitation, it is first necessary to have an appreciation of the cell biology, anatomy and physiology of the normal cardiovascular system.
In this module we will therefore review the basic biology of the cardiovascular system before looking at the disease processes that compromise its structure and function. As well as having an underlying pathology, cardiac rehabilitation patients have usually also undergone a surgical intervention and are likely to be taking a variety of drugs. Both of these interventions, as well as the original pathology, can have a significant impact on the prescription of physical activity for the patient. Therefore, in this module you will also learn about the drugs commonly used in the treatment of cardiac disorders and how these might affect the prescription of physical activity in cardiac rehabilitation.
