Exercise and sport sciences is a multidisciplinary field that enables you to understand and appreciate human movement as it applies to human fitness, elite performance, family and community health, lifestyle management, occupational health and safety, and personal health. Core studies in this program focus on exercise physiology, biomechanics, motor control, exercise and sport psychology, and anatomy. The knowledge and skills gained from this program will provide graduates with a comprehensive understanding of health and the many factors that influence it.

At CQUniversity, our Bachelor of Exercise and Sport Sciences is the only program of its kind in Australia offered by distance education and on-campus, either full‑time or part‑time.

CQUniversity offers smaller class sizes and more personalised learning to cater to your individual needs. Our program will provide you with the right mix of theory and hands-on laboratory experiences, so you can apply what you learn in a practical capacity.

The program also includes two placements of work integrated learning, one clinically-based and one exercise-based, giving you great exposure to real workplace practices and ensuring you are work-ready when you graduate.

The Bachelor of Medical Science (Specialisation) provides you with the opportunity to work in an exciting and rewarding career in one of three specialist areas including Clinical Investigation, Nutrition or Pathology. Each of the specialist areas explores relevant health and disease issues.

In order to help you determine your desired and most suited career path, you will gain exposure to foundation knowledge in sciences, study and research skills and health professional practice throughout your fi rst year of study in this degree. You will then be asked to decide on your specialist interest area at the end of your fi rst year.

Clinical physiologists (Clinical Investigation) measure function within the cardiovascular, respiratory and nervous system to exclude or confirm disease and then monitor progress in response to therapy.

Nutritionists are concerned with promoting and maintaining healthy lifestyle choices and preventing diet-related diseases in our communities. Nutritionists work in a number of industries including health promotion, public health, Indigenous health, food services, food or health corporations and engage in further study or research in public health nutrition, nutrition and dietetics, education, health service management, and environmental health.

Medical laboratory scientists, specialising in pathology, examine bodily samples to assist in making a diagnosis regarding a patient’s medical condition.

The program has been developed in consultation with key industry bodies and professionals and incorporates up to 480 hours of work integrated learning during each three year program. This ensures you graduate with the practical skills required to be career-ready and highly attractive to prospective employers. If you choose to study the program by distance education, you have the flexibility to fit study with your work and other lifestyle commitments. There is also an option to exit the degree after successful completion of the first 16 courses with an Associate Degree of Medical Science (Specialisation).

Molecular diagnostic testing uses highly sensitive and specific laboratory techniques to detect and identify biomarkers at the nucleic acid (DNA and RNA) level. Common molecular-based applications include medical diagnosis, establishing prognosis, monitoring the course of disease, and selecting optimal therapies. The Master of Science in Health Sciences (MSHS) in Molecular Diagnostic Sciences prepares both MLS certified and non-certified individuals for careers in clinical or public health laboratories, research institutions, law enforcement agencies, as well as biotechnology or pharmaceutical companies. The proposed curriculum has been designed so that students can complete the entire program in two academic years and offers the flexibility of allowing students to enroll either on a full-time or part-time basis. Furthermore, the program of study provides practical experience to individuals with no previous clinical molecular diagnostic experience in the form of a Molecular Diagnostics Practicum course.

Sleep science and neurodiagnostics are unique emerging health care professions dedicated to recording and studying the electrical activity of the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves, the function of the cardiovascular system, and the function of the respiratory system. These procedures are vital in diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders, diagnosis of nervous system disorders, as well as aiding in the diagnosis of behavioral, and psychiatric disorders. New technologies have stimulated a great demand for advanced level professionals. The Neurodiagnostics and Sleep Science (NDSS) program represents advanced study in Neurodiagnostics and Sleep Science. Coursework includes: Advanced practice in neurodiagnostic and sleep science; Principles of education for leaders

Philosophy and application of scientific research;Philosophy and principles of laboratory management, healthcare administration, and finance. The program is offered via distance education and may be pursued under part-time status. The UNC Charlotte Department of Kinesiology, in collaboration with the UNC Chapel Hill Department of Allied Health Sciences, offers this unique advanced curriculum. Graduates of the NDSS program benefit from the unique curricula, which reflect the ever-changing nature of clinical practice and patient care. Advanced roles in neurodiagnostics and sleep science require significant levels of analysis, problem solving, and professional judgment. Graduates of the NDSS program are prepared with the knowledge and skill sets to fulfill these advanced roles. Prospective students will be motivated and qualified practitioners who want to pursue this degree to become the institutional, educational, governmental, and research leaders needed in these fields.

Entry Requirements

Applicants must have completed a associate degree from an accredited institution with GPA of 2.0
