With a deeper knowledge of the human body and how exercise affects it, you’ll be prepared to design and deliver safe and effective exercise interventions that focus on clients with chronic and complex medical conditions, injuries and disabilities. These interventions include health, exercise and physical activity education, advice and support, and lifestyle medication. Combine classroom learning with clinical training and practical placements. Build your skills and your professional networks through our on-campus clinics, or with leading community-based service providers. You’ll have access to state-of-the-art labs, and purpose-built, professional-grade facilities, including an Olympic swimming pool, athletics track, and high-tech labs. Learn using the latest technology, including cutting-edge simulations, and study alongside world-leading researchers who are at the forefront of their fields. Graduates secure the skills required to competently assess, design and deliver exercise programs to improve health and performance, prevent chronic conditions, and treat or manage clinical conditions with a strong focus on achieving behavioural change.
