Exercise Science and Nutrition
The Bachelor of Science (Exercise Science and Nutrition) combines
studies in the areas of Nutrition and Exercise Science. The double
major requires the completition of 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.
