Major
The Exercise Science major is available exclusively in the Bachelor of Applied Science (Exercise and Sport Science) and Bachelor of Applied Science / Bachelor of Advanced Studies (Exercise and Sport Science).
Through the Exercise Science major you will develop skills to allow safe and effective implementation of exercise and design and deliver exercise programs using behaviour change strategies through synthesis of evidence, critical reflection and inventiveness. You will develop the ability to interpret findings and problem solve in a wide range of health and performance contexts, using evidence to continue to refine best practise.
