Exercise scientists use the science of human movement to make life more enjoyable and prevent common lifestyle diseases. This program teaches the science and theories behind human movement and sporting performance and provides hands-on skills to work as a qualified exercise scientist.
In this program students will gain in-depth knowledge in areas such as functional anatomy, motor control and learning, exercise physiology and biomechanics. They’ll test and train athletes in UniSC’s nationally accredited sports science labs as they learn about sports psychology, performance analysis, coaching and exercise rehabilitation. They’ll also get to undertake a minimum 270 hours of supervised professional practice. For more information, visit Bachelor of Sport and Exercise Science at UniSC – University of the Sunshine Coast.
