Our ESSA accredited Bachelor of Exercise and Sport Science program enables you to develop knowledge and practical skills with core studies in biomechanics, anatomy, physiology and health, whilst pursuing an interest in either applied exercise programming, health or teaching. You will examine key aspects of sport science and learn how to plan, implement and evaluate healthy living and diverse populations.

You will also experience a blended learning approach through face to face delivery in Ballarat or flexible delivery in Gippsland, with workshops and tutorials, online engagement activities and practical learning, supported by our sports facilities in Gippsland, and our new Health and Sports Precinct in Ballarat. Industry placements are also part of the curriculum – a program component that our students love the most.

With support from us, you will gain valuable work experience within a range of exercise science industries both locally and state-wide.

Upon graduation, you will be eligible for registration with Exercise and Sport Science Australia, and be able to pursue a variety of career paths. Our graduates have successfully gained employment in high profile organisations including the NBA, NFL, AFL, NRL and Super Netball.

If you wish to progress to further study, the Bachelor of Exercise and Sport Science is a pathway to coursework masters degrees including a Master of Clinical Exercise Physiology, Master of Strength and Conditioning and Master of Teaching (Secondary).
