The Bachelor of Sport and Exercise Science is a four-year programme that includes an eight-month period of work experience (Co-operative Education) in relevant placements during the third year.

The first year of the course provides a transition and immersion into sport and exercise science. You will undertake broad modules under the themes of “What makes an Olympic champion?”, “Why exercise is good for health?” and “What are the determinants of human performance?”. These themes are explored in each of the core disciplines within sport and exercise science, including physiology, anatomy, psychology, biomechanics and training science, and provide a foundation for these and other disciplines, such as mathematics and physics, which enable a deeper understanding in years 2, 3 and 4.

Laboratory experience is an integral part of each of these core areas of study where you will test concepts and theories and acquire laboratory and research skills. In the first two years, you will study and experience selected sports and modes of exercise and training.

Here, you’ll have the opportunity to improve personal performance and prepare for coaching awards and certification. In second year you select an elective and will take two modules in Law or Computer Science. In your final year you will undertake a project on a topic related to an aspect of sport and exercise science.
