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.
