About

Become an expert in the impact of exercise and physical activity on the biological, psychological and social parameters of human life with this Exercise and Sport Science degree from University of South Australia.

Overview

Become immersed in an environment with practical learning opportunities, guided by world-class industry experts with this Exercise and Sport Science degree from University of South Australia. 

You’ll gain an integral appreciation of the long-term positive effects of exercise on people’s physical and mental health. This Exercise and Sport Science degree from University of South Australia teaches you how to design, deliver and assess exercise and physical activity programs to improve the health and wellbeing of clients, their performance and to prevent chronic diseases such as diabetes and arthritis.

What you'll need

Students undertaking activities involving interaction with patients/the public as part of their degree, such as field or clinical placements/visits and in University clinics and gyms, must demonstrate they meet mandatory pre-placement conditional requirements. These include criminal history clearance, a Working with Children Check and immunisation requirements. Please visit the Clinical Placement Unit for information on key requirements, and to access the full student checklists.

What you'll learn

Throughout your studies you’ll develop effective practical and communication skills to conduct laboratory and field testing and interpret scientific research. Some of the tests you may conduct are related to strength, fitness, oxygen usage and body mass.

This course prepares you to confidently advise on exercise plans; and deliver strength and conditioning services. The curriculum teaches biomechanical analyses and skill acquisition knowledge to enhance people’s physical and mental wellbeing – from children to elite athletes to the elderly.

Your career

As the health and wellbeing industries continue to grow, employment prospects for graduates of this degree are promising. According to ESSA’s Future Workforce Report, the increased need for effective evidence-based programming for a society with escalating chronic disease is driving this growth.

You could find yourself working in a range of positions in the sport, fitness, rehabilitation, health, government, aged care, education or recreation industries. You may also work across other industries where high levels of education, leadership, communication and organisation are valued.
