Ready to take your passion for exercise to the next level but not prepared to commit to a full undergraduate degree? The Diploma of Exercise and Sports Science will allow you to explore the anatomy and physiology at a foundation level.

You will also learn about:

• the musculoskeletal system and the physiology of nerve and muscle function
• The cardiovascular system and the respiratory system as well as other cellular and genetic processes
• the control of movement and motor skill acquisition
• how the human body interacts with the environment
• the subsequent optimisation of physiological, biomechanical, and psychological responses and adaptations to acute and chronic exercise.

Graduating from this course may lead you to career opportunities in the Australian health and fitness, sports industry, or you may continue to further studies into our Bachelor course.
