Bachelor of Science (Exercise Science)
The Bachelor of Science degree,
with a major study 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.
