Graduate Diploma in Science major in Exercise Sciences

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, provides the foundation for studying Exercise 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.

Exercise Sciences will prepare you for a career in exercise science, movement science, health, wellness, physical fitness, rehabilitation, high-performance sport, sport science and clinical exercise physiology.
Exercise Sciences is an important discipline that relates to all aspects of our everyday life. Our courses cover human physiology, exercise and sports psychology, biomechanics, and movement neuroscience.
Studying Exercise Sciences will facilitate skills for lifelong learning, critical and analytical thinking, communication, independence, collaboration and intellectual curiosity. In laboratory classes you will develop hands-on skills in interacting with human participants and the processes of experimentation.

The programme is committed to developing students' knowledge and skills in the exercise sciences, health, wellness, physical fitness, rehabilitation, sport science and clinical exercise physiology.
