Bachelor of Science (Exercise Science)
The Bachelor of Science degree, with a specialisation in
Exercise Science, involves 3 years of full time study and
the completion of 144 credit points including at least 24
credit points at 300-level. This degree represents the first
3 years of the 4-year professional Bachelor of Exercise Science
and Rehabilitation degree program. Graduates are trained to
utilise exercise as an intervention to maintain health and
fitness in healthy individuals. Graduates may become full
members of the Australian Association for Exercise and Sports
Science (AAESS) although further study maybe required to achieve
professional accreditation.
Students wishing to transfer into the professional 4-year
Bachelor of Exercise Science and Rehabilitation degree program
may apply for transfer upon completion of the second year
of the program.
The BSc (Exercise Science) is designed to meet the pre-requisite
subject requirements for entry into the Graduate Diploma in
Science (Exercise Rehabilitation) or the Master of Science
(Exercise Rehabilitation) postgraduate degree programs which
lead to professional accreditation, as an Exercise Physiologist
or a Sports Scientist, by AAESS.
