Masters

Master of Exercise Science

Tell me more about the Course...

• The degree is designed to provide the student with the necessary knowledge, development of attitudes and clinical decision making skills required to practice as exercise and sport scientists. This learning comes in the form of lectures, practicals, workshops and problem based assessments.

• The degree has a large placement emphasis providing students from both streams the opportunity to experience a profession and and utilise the skills and knowledge gained from the courses.

• Upon graduation of the above courses students will have met the professional requirements to work as either Exercise Physiologists (Clinical Exercise Physiology Strand) or Exercise Scientists (Sport Science Strand) subject to accreditation by Exercise and Sport Science Australia (ESSA).

  N.B.All the clinical practice units shown in the above course structures are placement based units. Preparing for work integrated learning (Clinical placements).
  
  
  You will need the following:
  

  • immunisation (as per schedule)
  • police record check - Federal and NSW
  • confidentiality agreement - this will be explained in class

  Most placements will be undertaken within the ACT although placements can occur outside the ACT. 
  
  
  Pre-clinical requirement forms

When is term?

Dependent on which stream you decide to do, depends on when you start.

Clinical Exercise Physiology - O week 19th July / Semester 1: 26th July - 6th December (includes examination weeks)

More descriptive timetable will be provided in O week.

For the Clinical Exercise Physiology stream we are utilising Physiotherapy units to teach those elements associated with the target pathologies. Physiotherapy Masters at UC starts earlier then other courses hence the earlier start date in semester 1 and 3. The non physiotherapy based units will start at a later date.

What are the Fees?


The overall course cost is set at $29,000.


In 2010 all places for the Master of Exercise Science are commonwealth funded and thus can be put on HEC's.


AUS Study can also be applied for by domestic students obtaining a place on this course.
