Human Movement Science and Health Studies

专业介绍

The programme is a four-year full-time degree programme, aims to provide an interdisciplinary learning experience to students who are interested in the scientific and medical aspects of human movement, coaching, health and rehabilitation, as well as research-oriented activities in academia.

The Programme is characterized by two highly linked areas. Human Movement Science explores the causes and consequences of human movement across one’s lifespan, including the prevention and treatment of acute and chronic conditions that cause disorders of movement. Health Studies cover how to develop and apply principles of exercise-based preventative intervention, management of health and well-being, and rehabilitation to individuals who are injured or physically impaired (e.g., disability, chronic disease).

In this Programme, students will examine human movement from a variety of perspectives, including injury prevention, exercise rehabilitation, biomechanics, exercise physiology, health and fitness, motor control and motor development to equip them with necessary knowledge to contribute to major medical advances and development of more effective models of health care. The Programme will also prepare students for professional careers in coaching, rehabilitation, sports therapy, health-related sector, and sport-related industrial or exercise scientist.
