Course outline

This degree features foundational and advanced coursework in exercise science, applied through a minimum of 500 hours of supervised clinical placement in exercise science and exercise physiology. With a deeper knowledge of the human body and how exercise affects it, an Accredited Exercise Physiologist (AEP) designs and delivers safe and effective exercise interventions that focus on clients with chronic and complex medical conditions, injuries and disabilities. These interventions include health and physical activity education, advice and support, and lifestyle medication. Graduates secure the skills required to competently assess, design and deliver exercise programs to improve health and performance, prevent chronic conditions, and treat or manage clinical conditions with a strong focus on achieving behavioural change.

Note

Applicants with prior Exercise Science (or equivalent) tertiary study at Diploma level or higher that meet the equivalent of 1 year FTE or more are eligible to be considered for this pathway and will be assessed based on the amount of credit from their prior related study to determine the year level for admission. Each year level will have a quota of places. The number of available places and applicant pool will determine the minimum selection rank for each year level. The applicant’s selection rank will be based on the prior related study that meets the credit requirements for admission. Applicants with less than 1FTE of prior Exercise Science (or equivalent) tertiary study at Diploma level or higher should apply for 233732 B Clinical Exercise Physiology.
