Sport and Exercise Science
Profile
This four-year course immerses students in the three core areas of sport and exercise sciences through engaging lectures and practical classes. Initial years provide a foundation of knowledge for each core area with students encouraged to develop and apply knowledge and skills in a variety of sport and exercise settings in later years.
Sport and Exercise Science is the application of scientific principles to the promotion and enhancement of sport, exercise, health and well-being.
Sport and Exercise Science develops an understanding of the human body’s response to exercise, how to maximise performance in athletes, the benefits of physical activity for health, and the psychological and sociological factors influencing sport and exercise.
