Overview

Exercise scientists help people prevent and recover from injury and disease, help maximise athlete performance, and promote wellbeing and healthy ageing. They use a person-centred approach to educate individuals and communities about the benefits of exercise and encourage lifelong positive exercise behaviours.

In this Bachelor of Science (Exercise and Sport Science) programme from Curtin University , you will gain the theoretical knowledge and practical skills within each of the foundational pillars of exercise science: biomechanics, physiology, psychology, behaviour change, and motor control and learning.

In your first year of study, you’ll gain foundational knowledge and skills. In your second and third years, you’ll delve deeper into each pillar of exercise science. In your final year, you’ll apply your expertise in real-world settings.

Your professional practice experience will include at least 140 hours at our site at Cockburn Aquatic and Recreation Centre and through one of our industry partnerships – which span elite sport, strength and conditioning, corporate health, clinical exercise physiology and paediatric exercise.

This is a practical course and active participation in practical classes is essential. Please note that some practical classes involve disrobing, as well as palpation of muscles and bony landmarks for learning anatomy and skills such as anthropometry.
