Over the first three years you’ll complete an extended major in Sport Science, Exercise and Health, and some units from the Master of Clinical Exercise Physiology. You can then choose to exit after three years with an Advanced Bachelor’s Degree in Sport and Exercise Sciences, or continue with the Master of Clinical Exercise Physiology and be awarded a Bachelor of Sport and Exercise Sciences and a Master of Clinical Exercise Physiology at the end of the four years.
This Combined Bachelor’s and Master’s (CBM) course is designed to provide a holistic understanding of the use of exercise as a modality in the treatment of musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, metabolic and other chronic and complex conditions. Students may structure a course that is best tailored to their future requirements and area of specialisation.
Course structure
In your first three years, you will complete the Sport Science, Exercise and Health (extended major) and a semester of postgraduate study. You will then complete the Master of Clinical Exercise Physiology.
Why study this course?
This course will provide both Bachelor’s and a Master’s qualifications in a four-year program.
With full time study, you will achieve AEP accreditation in the shortest possible time, thereby enabling you to begin practice sooner than by other accredited programs with similar academic qualifications.
This degree focuses on combining your academic studies with developing your applied skills in line with industry accreditation and subsequent employment or research.
What you’ll learn
Foundation knowledge in the sub-disciplines of exercise physiology, biomechanics, motor control and learning, and sport psychology.
Relevant skills for assessing human capacity and using this information as the basis for exercise prescription.
Advanced knowledge and application of treatment modalities in the areas of cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, neuromuscular, and other chronic and complex medical conditions.
Work integrated learning opportunities to develop your specific understanding and skills in patient assessment and exercise prescription.
Career Pathways
Accredited exercise physiologists specialise in clinical exercise interventions for people with a broad range of health issues. Those people may be at risk of developing, or have existing, medical conditions and injuries. The aims of exercise physiology interventions are to prevent or manage acute, sub- acute or chronic disease or injury, and assist in restoring one’s optimal physical function, health or wellness. These interventions are exercise-based and include health and physical activity education, advice and support and lifestyle modification with a strong focus on achieving behavioural change.
Accredited exercise physiologists work across a range of health settings including:
Public and private hospitals
Private and multidisciplinary medical or allied health clinics
Government and not-for profit organisations
Workplace health and rehabilitation
Aged care facilities
Disability service providers
Fitness centres and gymnasiums
Sports organisations
Public health and health promotion organisations
