Exercise and Sports Science

If you love sport and keeping fit, studying an Exercise and Sport Sciences course can help you turn your interest into a career.

CQU's Bachelor of Exercise and Sport Sciences is a degree that brings together practical skills with an exploration into exercise physiology; biomechanics; motor control; exercise and sport psychology; nutrition and anatomy. 

You'll gain a comprehensive understanding of the processes and mechanisms of the human body as they relate to exercise and sport science. 

Plus, you can pursue your own interest with a minor in Biomedical Sciences, Secondary Teaching or Management and Business and get ready for a range of career possibilities. 

These include working in health and sports organisations; government agencies; rehabilitation clinics and hospitals; and institutes that have a focus on sports, movement, health, wellness and fitness.

      Sport science appealed to me because it's more analytical and research-based and has a firm grounding in science. It combined my love of sports with a research and knowledge base.
