Why study exercise science?
- You will be introduced to advanced level units within the various sub-disciplines that are informed by the latest research developments and contemporary professional practice. As part of this learning, you’ll acquire knowledge of the process and conduct of research in the biological and behavioural sciences as this applies to the field of Exercise Science
- In addition to learning cognitive skills involved in these advanced level units, several units involve learning advanced technical and measurement skills through tutorials and laboratories. Most core and elective units for this degree offer, at the graduate level, opportunities for students to plan, prepare and conduct small research projects, and then analyse the data and report findings in both written and oral formats
