Bachelor of Exercise Science
Griffith University - Gold Coast

Course outline

You’ll gain skills and knowledge in the physical, biomedical and psychological sciences needed to become an exercise scientist. You will learn the role of exercise in health maintenance and rehabilitation. As an exercise scientist, you’ll apply the science of exercise to develop interventions that improve health, fitness, wellbeing and performance, at individual, community and population levels. These interventions include education and the promotion and implementation of appropriate physical activity or exercise. As part of your degree, you’ll undertake professional placement, which will see you put your skills and knowledge into practice.
