COURSE DESCRIPTION

Gain the theoretical skills to analyse new challenges and the practical skills required to help people improve their health. Health and Physical Education (HPE) graduates stand out for their holistic understanding of the concepts of health and physical activity, and their relationship to other components of physical education.

The HPE program is known for the quality of its facilities. Western Sydney University has invested significantly in practical facilities used for HPE. These are complemented by a wealth of sports venues in the local region, and the opportunity for outdoor activities in the Blue Mountains.

The program explores challenging areas including youth health issues, sexuality, drugs, psychology and risk-taking behaviours, as well as general health and sport science, including human biology, health systems, health promotion, exercise physiology, movement learning, and research.

Western’s facilities include a gymnasium, dance and gym studio, sports fields, and undercover sport courts where learning to lead practical experiences are a strong feature of the program. The program is a popular pathway to a Master of Teaching degree, and then on to a teaching career. Teaching opportunities can be extended beyond HPE by studying subjects in other disciplines to gain a second teaching area.
