Exercise Science and Nutrition (UAC Code 757646)
This double major, Exercise Science and Nutrition, represents
the first 3 years of an integrated five-year nested 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
