COURSE DESCRIPTION
Combine your interest and passion for physical activity, sport, exercise and nutrition with study in a wide range of arts disciplines and graduate ready to make a real impact on health outcomes for individuals and communities.
Through this dual program, you’ll gain creative and critical thinking skills, backed by an in-depth knowledge of human movement and nutrition sciences. This will help you build a portfolio of skills and capabilities that can be transferred across industries such as health care, government, education, business and finance, and higher education.
While studying the Bachelor of Human Movement and Nutrition Sciences, you’ll explore human movement and nutrition across the lifespan and discover the roles that food, physical activity, exercise and sleep play in our health, the prevention of chronic disease, and sporting performance.
You’ll also develop the knowledge and skills to address two of the most important modifiable risk factors for chronic disease – physical activity and nutrition.
Through UQ’s arts program – the largest and the most comprehensive in Australia – you’ll have the opportunity to broaden your skill set by choosing from more than 45 study areas across the humanities, social sciences and languages.
The dual program provides multiple employment pathways, including working in diverse communities, in government organisations, and in consultancy.
