This Masters by Research (MRes) programme is tailored for a highly motivated researcher eager to address critical gaps in cardiovascular health outcomes. You will immerse yourself in an applied research environment within the Carnegie School of Sport, specifically investigating the transition from Phase III to Phase IV cardiac rehabilitation. This project is ideal for those passionate about health equity, as you will focus on understanding the barriers faced by underrepresented groups—including women and ethnic minorities—who are less likely to engage in long-term maintenance programmes.

By conducting a qualitative exploration of patient experiences, you will contribute directly to evidence-based strategies designed to reduce hospitalisations and improve quality of life for those living with coronary heart disease. The programme offers a unique opportunity to work alongside world-leading experts, providing you with the skills to translate complex health data into real-world impact. You will not only master qualitative methodology but also play a meaningful role in shaping future interventions for cardiac care in the UK.
