The course aims to equip students with the fundamental knowledge, skills, capabilities and awareness necessary for a graduate to qualify as an accredited exercise physiologist or an exercise scientist. Students develop an understanding of the basic concepts involved in the role of physical activity in the health of individuals and communities. This will enable them to pursue employment or to subsequently undertake further specialised training, or research at Honours or Research Higher Degree level.

Graduates can apply for membership of The Australian Association for Exercise and Sports Science (AAESS). They may be employed as exercise physiologists in the private and public health systems, or as a sport scientist within State or National Institute and Academy of Sports Science organisations.

Students who wish to apply to AAESS for accreditation as exercise physiologists should complete Exercise Science Practicum 1 and Exercise Science Practicum 2 in order to fulfil current AAESS practical experience requirements.

The degree may also be a suitable undergraduate degree for those intending post-graduate study in physiotherapy, medicine or rehabilitation.
