Exercise and physical activity positively affect human life in a variety of ways - biologically, psychologically and socially. In this industry-relevant degree you will develop a holistic understanding of these impacts.
You can align your studies with your career aspirations, with the opportunity to select one of two primary streams in Exercise and Sport Science or Health and Physical Education. There is also the opportunity to select secondary study streams in Rehabilitation Sciences, Sports Coaching, Outdoor Education, Health Promotion, Nutrition or Advanced Exercise and Sport Science.
If you think you might be interested in secondary school teaching, you can apply for the Bachelor of Human Movement/Master of Teaching (Secondary). Please see the Your Career section below for more information.
Students who undertake activities where interaction with patients/the public is required for their degree, such as field or clinical placements/visits and in University clinics and gyms, must demonstrate they meet mandatory pre-placement conditional requirements. These include criminal history clearance, a Working with Children Check and immunisation requirements. Please visit the Clinical Placement Unit for information on key requirements, and to access the full student checklists.
During your first year of study, you will develop a strong foundation in:
Second year studies will focus on:
During your final year you will focus largely on your chosen stream, in addition to core courses in sociology of health and physical activity. You can choose to complete a stream in one of the following areas:
You will also develop knowledge in two additional, specialist areas, choosing from physical education, coaching, health, outdoor education, rehabilitation or nutrition.
This degree teaches you practical skills and effective communication skills to facilitate interaction with a range of clients and peers, complete client screening, conduct laboratory and field testing, interpret scientific research and design and implement physical activity, exercise and training programs.
World-class teaching staff and state-of-the-art learning facilities mean this degree is a great choice for students interested in exercise and physical activity. Our on-campus facilities, such as our specialised exercise science laboratories, are a great way to develop practical skills and explore and experience the hands-on nature of this growing industry.
In your first year you will complete a placement, meaning you will be exposed to industry from the very beginning. You will also have the opportunity to undertake other placements through electives in a wide range of different fields.
In third year, you can also choose to study overseas by completing an international exchange in Norway, Canada, United States or the United Kingdom.
Depending on your primary chosen stream, human movement graduates will be able to consider careers such as:
Those students in the Health and Physical Education stream can continue their studies in either primary or secondary teaching, leading to a career as a primary specialist Health and Physical Education or Science teacher, or a secondary school teacher in Health and PE and Junior Science, as well as a third learning area depending on your electives. For more information including subjects you'll be able to teach, visit our secondary health and physical education teaching page.
Become even more employable by combining your Bachelor of Human Movement degree with another degree. With just one year of extra study you can graduate with a double degree. Your options include Nutrition and Food Sciences or Psychological Science (Counselling and Interpersonal Skills).
Other postgraduate coursework areas include physiotherapy, occupational therapy, business, journalism and social work. For more information on where this program can take you, visit our Active Careers page.
