Curtin University

Bachelor of Exercise and Sport Science

As an exercise scientist, you will use a person-centred approach to educate individuals and communities on the benefits of exercise that encourages lifelong positive exercise behaviours.

In this course you will gain the theoretical knowledge and practical skills of the pillars of exercise science: biomechanics, physiology, psychology, behaviour change, and motor control and learning.

In your first year of study you'll gain foundational knowledge and skills. In your second and third years you’ll delve deeper into each pillar of exercise science. In your final year, you'll apply your expertise in real-world settings. This includes at least 140 hours of professional practice at our site at Cockburn Aquatic and Recreation Centre, and through one of industry partnerships – which span elite sport, strength and conditioning, corporate health, clinical exercise physiology and paediatric exercise.
