Course overview
Exercise scientists look at the effect of exercise on human performance. They design, implement, and evaluate exercise and physical activity for a wide range of people within the community. They provide degrees for improving general health, the prevention of chronic diseases, health promotion and enhanced sports performance.
Throughout the Bachelor of Exercise Science, you will gain a basic understanding of the anatomical and physiological basis of human motion and the effect of exercise on human performance in sport, industry, aging and in healthy living.
This degree also includes a workplace experience component that requires 140 hours of placement in a community, sporting, scientific or commercial exercise setting. Completion of these hours is required to graduate. This experience is an essential part of the learning process and will allow you to put into practice what you've learned during the course to ensure that you are work ready as an exercise scientist. The course will prepare you for a career in sporting organisations, community health units, workplaces, and gymnasiums.
