Bachelor of Science (Exercise Science and Nutrition)

The Bachelor of Science (Exercise Science and Nutrition) combines studies in the areas of Nutrition and Exercise Science over 150 credit points of core subjects and 3 years of full time study. This degree represents the first 3 years of a 5 year integrated undergraduate and postgraduate program of study (with the Master of Science (Nutrition/Dietetics and Exercise Science)) designed to produce a combined Dietitian and Exercise Science practitioner who has professional accreditation from both the Dietitians Association of Australia (DAA) and the Australian Association for Exercise and Sports Science (AAESS).
Students wishing to transfer into the Bachelor of Science (Exercise Science and Nutrition) will normally apply at the beginning of each academic year. Selection is based on criteria which include University results and UAI scores.
