Overview

The Exercise Sciences degree from University of Auckland opens up a wide range of career opportunities. If you have been away from study for a while, the GradDipSci provides an opportunity to learn about new developments in your field of expertise.

Exercise Sciences is a discipline that focuses on how and why humans move.

Students develop an understanding of how physical activity, rehabilitation, sport and movement contribute to sustainable health. This provides the foundation for studying Exercise, Sport and Rehabilitation Sciences.

There is a growing demand for people who can not only research and analyse performance techniques, but can also work as allied health professionals to maximise human performance to improve general health and wellbeing through exercise.

Exercise Sciences ties together and builds on multi-disciplinary courses in human anatomy and physiology, biomechanics and computational movement science, exercise and sport psychology, and movement neuroscience.
