Gain the skills and knowledge in the physical, biomedical and psychological sciences that you'll need to become an exercise scientist.

 

In this degree, you'll 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.

That's why, to prepare you for the future of healthcare, we harness the latest in interprofessional learning technology and teaching approaches.
