Bachelor of Exercise Science and Rehabilitation

The Bachelor of Exercise Science and Rehabilitation degree requires 4 years of full-time study and the completion of 192 credit points of approved subjects. 178 credit points of subjects represent core study while the balance of the credit points may be taken as elective subjects from the Health and Behavioural Science or Science Schedules. Further, at least 88 credit points will be at 300- and/or 400-level, including at least 40 credit points at the 400-level.

The design of the Bachelor of Exercise Science and Rehabilitation course emphasises professional development and provides the student with opportunities to gain clinical skills through work experience within the department's Exercise Science and Rehabilitation Centre and other clinical application placement programs operating within the community. Graduates are trained to utilise exercise as an intervention to maintain and improve health and fitness and rehabilitate after injury or disease.

Graduates may apply for professional accreditation from the Australian Association for Exercise and Sports Science (AAESS) and practice as professional Exercise Physiologists or Sport Scientists after completing a period of post-graduation work experience.

Undergraduate students wishing to transfer into the Bachelor of Exercise Science and Rehabilitation degree may make application upon completion of the first two years of the BSc (Exercise Science) or BSc (Exercise Science and Nutrition) degrees (or other approved degree programs). Selection is based on University results over that time.
