ObjectivesOur Bachelor of Sport Science is designed to produce high quality graduates who clearly understand high performance athletes and the processes to achieve greater results for the athletes. This program focuses on an evidence-based approach to build knowledge, information and practical skills across the basic, clinical and high performance sciences. Learning strategies will include a mix of lectures, tutorials and practical classes, problem solving, theoretical reasoning and directed student learning through the case study based model.
Entry requirementsYear 12 results or equivalent results that include English, Maths B and either Chemistry or Physics. Students without year 12 Chemistry maybe required to complete a bridging Chemistry subject. International applicants also need to satisfy English Language Requirements.
Academic titleBachelor of Sports Science
