About the course

The Bachelor of Exercise and Sport Sciences (Honours) provides a direct pathway to a career as an Accredited Exercise Scientist (AES) or Accredited Sport Scientist (AspS). In these careers you’ll apply your expertise to help maximise the performance of elite athletes, promote healthy ageing, and generally improve people’s health and wellbeing. You could find yourself working in a variety of settings, such as sports academies and institutes, sporting clubs and associations, rehabilitation or sports medicine clinics, hospitals, health and fitness centres, research centres, or even the defence forces. During your program you'll learn how to apply complex knowledge to the design, delivery, and evaluation of exercise programs, interventions and assessments for clients with specific needs. You'll learn about the intricacies of human movement, and have the opportunity to study the biology, technology, behaviour and best practices that underpin exercise and sport sciences. As a graduate, you'll be eligible to apply for membership to the peak national accrediting body, Exercise & Sports Science Australia (ESSA), as an Accredited Exercise Scientist. You can also apply for membership as an Accredited Sport Scientist if you complete the elective course ‘Developing the Elite Athlete’ and practicum under an appropriate supervisor.
