Bachelor of Exercise Science and Rehabilitation
Overview
The Bachelor of Exercise Science and Rehabilitation emphasises
professional development and is designed to provide students
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.
Entry Requirements / Assumed Knowledge
Domestic school leavers are assumed to have completed any
two units of English, plus four units of Science and/or Maths.
International students are required to have achieved an IELTS
score of 6, with a level of 6 in reading and writing, and
5 in speaking and listening.
NSW Health Employment Requirements: The
NSW Health Department requires all staff and students undertaking
clinical placements in positions dealing with children and
patients vulnerable by reason of health status, to undergo
a criminal record check before employment or placement in
any capacity in the NSW health system. For further information,
refer to the Additional Information section at the end of
this chapter.
Advanced Standing
Undergraduate students wishing to transfer into the Bachelor
of Exercise Science and Rehabilitation degree may apply 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.
Course Requirements
The Bachelor of Exercise Science & Rehabilitation degree
is comprised of 178 credit points of core subjects with the
balance (at least 14 credit points) to be taken as elective
subjects from the Health and Behavioural Sciences 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.
