Online Sport Exercise Science Degree :: Accredited Universities

This course delivers an advanced multidisciplinary understanding of contemporary issues that apply to sport and exercise science. It is aimed at learners who wish to update their knowledge and skills for professional development.

The course offers a range of modules that integrate knowledge from the key sub-disciplines of sport and exercise science and adopts an issue based framework to achieve this goal.

The MSc incorporates a substantial piece of independent research. The course is the first in the UK in the subject area to adopt an electronic distance-learning based format. It is therefore designed to be particularly attractive to those in full time work who wish to study in a flexible manner, and who cannot access traditionally delivered MSc courses due to geographical, work-based or other constraints.

Entry Requirements

Normally a first degree in a related area, but evidence of a significant commitment to and long term interest in the field of study may also, under certain circumstances, be considered when examining applications.

The Exercise and Sport Science course is designed to equip graduates as allied health professionals who use exercise as an intervention to improve health and fitness, enhance physical performance and prevent and rehabilitate injury in both healthy (including athletes) and physically challenged (such as aged and injured) populations. This course has a physiotherapy preparation stream designed to provide a pathway to the Master of Physiotherapy offered by Flinders University by undertaking additional specialist units.

Exercise and Sport Science graduates have diverse employment opportunities in fitness, sport and health industries.

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 Exercise and Sports Science 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. Analytical, technical and professional skills are developed in the areas of movement analysis, health and fitness assessment and exercise training for health and performance. Students complete 140 hours of workplace experience in their final trimester of study to practice these skills. Graduates are recognised for their expertise in the design and implementation of exercise interventions to prevent disease and improve athletic performance.

Entry Requirements

Assumed knowledge is English and Mathematics and recommended study is Biology, Chemistry, Physics and/or Health and Physical Education.

International students must meet the University's English language requirements.

Notes

Mandatory intensive schools may be a requirement of some of the units in this course. See Unit Catalogue for specific requirements.

To attain full membership with Exercise and Sports Science Australia (ESSA), students must complete 140 hours of practicum experience. Practicum may be completed in hospital/clinical services, occupational rehabilitation, exercise delivery for apparently healthy clients, sports science/performance, exercise & sports science research and/or workplace health. These hours are to be completed under the supervision of:

i) an Accredited Exercise Physiologist

ii) an exercise professional with, or capable of, attaining full membership of ESSA;

iii) a university-trained allied health professional with experience in exercise delivery, and/or

iv) a certificate IV in fitness trained individual with at least 10 years FTE experience within the exercise & sports science industry**.

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.

* Under extenuating circumstances** the supervision of students working with apparently healthy clients may be completed by an individual with a certificate 4 in fitness who has at least ten years (full time equivalent) experience in exercise delivery. The supervisor will be required to have received an induction*** into student supervision.

**Extenuating circumstances include an inability to obtain a University trained professional.

***The induction into student supervision can be completed by the Academic Unit and should comprise elements such as expectations of the university, one-on-one supervision of students, and guidelines on conflict resolution and evaluation.
