Exercise science & sport management
Employment opportunities in the health and fitness industry, sport management and administration, exercise rehabilitation, exercise physiology and sport science are expanding in Australia and overseas.
It is now well recognised that adopting a healthy lifestyle combining regular physical activity with good nutrition can reduce the risk of premature death or the onset of cardiovascular disease, some cancers, obesity and diabetes. Exercise science and nutrition together give a complete picture of the human body, from the chemical and biochemical aspects to the muscles and nervous system. Our Bachelor of Exercise Science and Nutrition, described as the "wellness" degree enables graduates to work in a variety of setting.
Our Bachelor of Sport and Exercise Science developed out of a need to provide qualified professionals for employment in the sport, health fitness and rehabilitation areas. Field experience is a feature of the course for students to apply theory and knowledge in practical settings to develop a professional approach to their training and preparation as a sport manager, exercise scientist, or health and fitness consultant. The course has professional recognition in various capacities.
Our Master of Clinical Exercise Physiology is a professional entry level postgraduate program that aims to produce graduates who would be eligible to register as an "Accredited Exercise Physiologist" (AEP). AEPs are recommended to manage complex exercise interventions for people living with chronic disease, disability or injury. Graduates will be eligible to apply for registration with Exercise and Sport Science Australia (ESSA) as an Accredited Exercise Physiologist (AEP).
