Deliver a healthier future through health maintenance and rehabilitation. Gain the skills and knowledge in the physical, biomedical and psychological sciences that you’ll need to become an exercise scientist. As an exercise scientist, you’ll apply the science of exercise to develop interventions that improve health, fitness, wellbeing and performance, at individual, community and population levels. These interventions include education and the promotion and implementation of appropriate physical activity or exercise. As part of your degree, you’ll undertake professional placement, where you’ll put your skills and knowledge into practice. The Bachelor of Exercise Science is accredited by Exercise and Sports Science Australia (ESSA) (subject to application). For more course information, visit
