ObjectivesThis degree enhances the professional skills which students acquired in their primary degree by allowing students to access more rigorously the links between the theoretical bases and practice. The degree also develops skills in problem analysis and research which can be applied at the professional level.
Entry requirementsThe following factors are taken into account in selection and admission of Honours candidates: * the applicant's academic record; * the availability of an appropriate supervisor or supervisors for the applicant, and agreement between the applicant and nominated supervisor(s) on a suitable dissertation topic; * the lapse in time since an applicant qualified for the award of a bachelor's degree. Graduates with a Bachelor of Human Movement Science or equivalent, who have demonstrated outstanding performance (GPA minimum 5.0) in the final two years of the degree, may apply for entry into the honours degree program. However, candidates whose levels of achievement fall below these admission requirements for any particular year, may apply to the faculty concerned for special consideration of their applications.

Course description
About Human Movement Science
Have you ever wondered how and why human movement occurs?
CQUni’s health and recreation studies enables you to learn more about sport and exercise science, human fitness, family and community health, lifestyle management, occupational health and safety and personal health. Core studies provide a comprehensive understanding of health and the factors that influence it.
Students explore human movement science goals, concepts and principles in their studies and develop skills and knowledge in areas such as human anatomy and physiology, sport and exercise psychology, fitness, and human behaviour.
Career Opportunities
An honours degree provides the opportunity to continue undergraduate studies at a higher level, specialising in a particular area of interest. An honours degree is a rigorous and scholarly program of further study, which develops a student's ability to generate new knowledge and distill new ideas out of existing knowledge. Candidates with honours are particularly sought after by employers and can choose from more interesting research and development positions because of their extra skills and proven abilities. It can also provide a pathway to research higher degree study. Completing an honours degree involves an additional full-time year of study (or the equivalent) following completion of a bachelor program, or alternatively additional study with a research element included in the final year or years of a bachelor program.
