Show More The Bachelor of Clinical Exercise Physiology at UNE is a multidisciplinary program that develops a comprehensive understanding of the scientific and applied aspects of sport, exercise and health. The course includes core studies in human structure, function and behaviour before further study on the acute and chronic physiological and psychological responses to exercise in healthy individuals and those with chronic and complex health conditions. In the first three years of study, analytical, technical and professional skills are developed in the areas of movement analysis, health and fitness assessment and exercise training for health and performance. The final year of study provides advanced training in chronic disease management, functional conditioning and clinical practice. Students complete 500 hours of workplace experience to practice exercise-based management of neurological, musculoskeletal, cardiopulmonary, metabolic and other health conditions. Graduates are recognised for their expertise in the clinical application of exercise-based rehabilitation. Entry RequirementsStudents who have completed 120 credit points of the Bachelor of Exercise and Sports Science may apply for admission to the Bachelor of Clinical Exercise Physiology. Admission is granted on the basis of meritorious study (a Credit grade point average (GPA) across the following 12 core units of study - EXSC210, EXSC220, EXSC230, EXSC239, EXSC240, EXSC260, EXSC310, EXSC335, EXSC340, EXSC360, EXSC360, EXSC375, HUMN240 and PSYC308). Students entering the course through this pathway will be required to complete a further 72 credit points as listed in the program of study. International students must meet the University's English language requirements. Assumed knowledge is English and Mathematics and recommended study is Biology, Chemistry, Physics and/or Health and Physical Education. All students are required to have a current senior first certificate prior to completing the first trimester of candidature. The certificate must be obtained from an accredited (Workcover approved) body at the student's own expense. Other FeesOverseas examination fees Textbooks Incidental unit costs NotesMandatory intensive schools may be a requirement of some of the units in this course. See Unit Catalogue for specific requirements. To attain Exercise Physiology accreditation with Exercise and Sports Science Australia (ESSA), students must complete 500 hours of clinical practicum experience which must be structured in the following manner: a) a minimum of 140 hours in exercise service delivery for the apparently healthy; b) a minimum of 140 clinical hours of neurological/neuromuscular or musculoskeletal practicum; c) a minimum of 140 clinical hours of cardiorespiratory or metabolic practicum. Any remaining hours may be completed as health related activities: a) provision of exercise delivery for pathologies related to cancers, mental health, renal, or other pathologies; b) provision of further exercise delivery for neurological/neuromuscular/musculoskeletal/cardiopulmonary and metabolic and pathologies; c) diagnostic investigations or procedures (eg. cardiac, pulmonary or other clinical investigations or procedures); d) Health Checks (eg. point of care testing); e) case management; f) health promotion, health education or workplace health programs; g) other related activities as outlined in the AEP evidence-based criteria. The activities approved under the 'health related activities' may occur in isolation, that is, without a related exercise intervention. These hours are to be completed under the supervision of: a) an accredited exercise physiologist; b) a university-trained allied health professional (eg registered physiotherapist). However, for those components of clinical practice that involve exercise prescription, at least some of the clinical supervision must be conducted by an AEP; c) an exercise professional with, or capable of attaining, full membership of ESSA (ie exercise scientist). However, for those components of clinical practice that involve exercise prescription, at least some of the clinical supervision must be conducted by an AEP. The clinical placement officer will assist students in identifying suitable practicum sites/supervisors, and facilitate the practicum placement process. It is the student's responsibility to approach practicum sites/supervisors and arrange the terms of their placement under the guidance of the clinical placement officer. International placements can be proposed for consideration. |

Why stu... Show More CSU’s Master of Clinical Exercise Physiology (Rehabilitation) is Australia’s only distance education course in Exercise Physiology that is accredited by Exercise and Sport Science Australia (ESSA). Why study this course? Chronic illness is the single greatest challenge facing health care in Australia. Recent data from Australian Institute of Health and Welfare indicates that chronic illness currently contributes to 70% of the health burden in Australia and this is expected to rise to 80% by 2020. Accredited exercise physiologists play a critical role enhancing the health of the nation by specialising in the delivery of preventative exercise programs and/or exercise interventions for the management of chronic and complex conditions and/or injuries. CSU’s Master of Clinical Exercise Physiology (Rehabilitation) develops the knowledge, skills and core competencies you require to work as an accredited exercise physiologist in a variety of settings. The course prepares students to conduct client consultations to determine medical and physical activity histories, perform pre-exercise screenings, use motivational interviewing to determine readiness for exercise and perform health and fitness assessments. Students will also be prepared to design and deliver evidence-based exercise prescriptions, apply psychological strategies to promote lifestyle modification and behaviour change, and provide client education to prevent or manage targeted cardiopulmonary, metabolic, musculoskeletal, and neurological conditions as well as cancer and depression. The course also includes up to 500 hours of supervised clinical placement, which provides students with the opportunity to apply their knowledge and skills in exercise physiology in real clinical settings whilst being supported by experienced health professionals. Entry RequirementsBachelor Degree in Exercise Science and/or Sport Science, or equivalent and evidence of approved graduate entry membership with Exercise and Sports Science Australia (ESSA) or evidence of pending graduate entry membership with Exercise and Sports Science Australia (ESSA) due to an inadequate number of apparently healthy practicum hours only (i.e. all Exercise Science knowledge and skills criteria are met). Other FeesOverseas examination fees ($100/course) Textbooks Student Services and Amenities Fee (Max. $281/year) Incidental unit costs NotesNot open to international students. |
