Exercise Science and Nutrition (UAC Code 757646)
This double major, Exercise Science and Nutrition, represents
the first 3 years of a coordinated five-year integrated undergraduate
and postgraduate program of study, with the Master of Science
(Nutrition/Dietetics and Exercise Science), designed to produce
a combined Dietician and Exercise Science practitioner who
has professional accreditation from both the Dieticians Association
of Australia (DAA) and the Australian Association for Exercise
and Sports Science (AAESS).
Assumed Knowledge
Domestic School Leavers are assumed to have completed at least
2 units of English at HSC level and 4 units of Science and/or
Maths. International students are required to have achieved
an IELTS score of 6.0 with at least 6.0 in reading and writing,
and at least 5.0 in listening and speaking. Alternative pathways
exist for mature age domestic students.
