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.
