On this course, you’ll learn to maximise sports performance and improve general health and wellbeing through exercise. 

In your first year, you’ll study topics, including anatomy, biochemistry, fitness and health, physiology, kinesiology, and skill acquisition, ensuring you have a solid foundation upon which to build the rest of your degree. 

During your second year, you’ll apply your knowledge in a sporting context, incorporating perspectives from physiology, nutrition, psychology, biomechanics and management, with opportunity for interdisciplinary application and the development of discipline-specific practical skills.

In your third year, you’ll select two optional modules, exploring topics such as advances in nutrition, biological rhythms, exercise referrals and prescriptions, and human movement and rehabilitation. 

You’ll benefit from discounted BASES and CIMSPA membership, to gain access to graduate job opportunities, online professional development learning materials and a quarterly newsletter, so they can keep up to date with any changes within the field.
