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, where you’ll put your skills and knowledge into practice. The Bachelor of Exercise Science is accredited by Exercise and Sports Science Australia (ESSA) (subject to application). For more course information, visit
