Are you interested in using exercise to improve people’s health, fitness and general well-being? If so, you should consider a career as an Exercise Physiologist through studying our Bachelor of Science (Exercise Science and Rehabilitation). When you graduate from this degree you will be eligible to apply to become an Accredited Exercise Physiologist with Exercise and Sports Science Australia (ESSA). Exercise Physiologists help other people improve their lifestyle and recover from injuries and chronic conditions through exercise. In this 4-year degree (full-time) you’ll gain knowledge, skills and experience in clinical exercise delivery, healthy lifestyle intervention and wellness programs for people living with chronic conditions, disabilities or injuries, as well as the healthy population. More qualified professionals are expected to be needed as the population grows and ages, with employment opportunities in public and private hospitals, workplace health and rehabilitation, aged care facilities, sports organisations and more. You can study units for this degree on-campus with weekly lectures and laboratories or through a blended format that involves weekly online content, such as lectures, laboratories, tutorials and/or seminars, accompanied by timetabled, intensive on-campus laboratory sessions twice per semester. Note: If you complete the Bachelor of Science (Exercise and Sports Science) degree (with the appropriate elective units) and decide that you’d like to pursue a career in exercise rehabilitation, you’ll only need to study this course for one year to be eligible to become an Accredited Exercise Physiologist.
