The Exercise Science degree provides graduates with
a wide variety of career options. Hospitals, Institutes
and Academies of Sport, gymnasiums and fitness
centres, regional councils, state and federal government
organisations, and professional sporting organisations all
employ Exercise Scientists. Graduates can work as exercise
physiologists, sports scientists and personal trainers
performing exercise assessments and providing exercise
prescriptions for diverse populations.
The Australian Association for Exercise and Sports Science
(AAESS) is the principal professional organisation for
Exercise Scientists. Graduates may apply for membership
and accreditation with AAESS. Extensive practical
experience is required of students wishing to become an
Accredited Exercise Physiologist with AAESS.
The degree may also be a suitable undergraduate degree
for those intending post-graduate study in physiotherapy,
medicine or rehabilitation.
