We're moving to Camperdown campus in 2021, and we've begun the transition.
In 2020, students commencing the Bachelor of Applied Science / Bachelor of Advanced Studies (Exercise and Sport Science) will have classes at both the Cumberland and Camperdown campuses. Classes will be timetabled to allow students with a standard enrolment pattern to come to a single campus each day, where possible.
It is intended that the Bachelor of Applied Science / Bachelor of Advanced Studies (Exercise and Sport Science) will be taught from new facilities on the Camperdown/Darlington Campus from 2021.
Admission to this course is on the basis of the following criteria:
The Bachelor of Applied Science / Bachelor of Advanced Studies (Exercise and Sport Science) course does not have a guaranteed ATAR. The ATAR information provided is an indication only and the actual required ATAR for entry may be higher or lower depending on student demand and availability of places in the course each year.
Admission pathways are open to domestic applicants on the basis of equity or other adjustment factors, including for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander applicants. For details, visit admission pathways.
Inherent requirements
Inherent requirements are the essential tasks and activities necessary to be able to achieve the core learning outcomes of a course. They are specific to a particular course or discipline. To assist students to make informed choices about their study, we have identified and set out the inherent requirements for this course.
Eligible candidates have the opportunity to take part in the FHS Abroad program which involves academic study and a four to six week placement with non-government organisations and other development agencies in one of a small number of countries in South and South East Asia. This 6 credit point elective unit of study is available to candidates in their senior years and offers a hands-on understanding of global health challenges in an overseas community through work with two well established Australian volunteer agencies.
The Bachelor of Applied Science / Bachelor of Advanced Studies (Exercise and Sport Science) has Qualifying Accreditation status at the level of Exercise Science.
The course will be submitted for consideration of full accreditation at the required stage.
Full (or provisional) accreditation status must be awarded for graduates of the course to be eligible for accreditation credentialing with Exercise and Sport Science Australia (ESSA).
Following course completion and successful accreditation with ESSA, graduates are eligible to apply for membership of ESSA and accreditation as an exercise scientist.
As an exercise scientist accredited in Australia, graduates enjoy the privilege of being qualified within a country that possesses an outstanding reputation in this field. Graduates have the opportunity to utilise principles such as biomechanics, musculoskeletal rehabilitation and gait analysis to evaluate and improve the performance of a diverse range of clients.
More information about accreditation can be obtained from Exercise and Sports Science Australia.
The Bachelor of Applied Science / Bachelor of Advanced Studies (Exercise and Sport Science) course meets the prerequisite requirements for admission to postgraduate study at the University of Sydney in exercise physiology, medicine, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, public health, safety science, and education.
Indicative Undergraduate Student Contribution Amount
The student contribution amount for a Commonwealth Supported Place is an indication only of the amount payable in Year 1 for a standard full time load of 48 credit points (1.0 EFTSL). The exact student contribution that you pay will depend on the calendar year in which you undertake your study in the course, and the specific units of study in which you enrol.
