Exercise scientists work with an extensive range of people. These include elite athletes looking to take their performance to greater heights, those who’ve sustained a physical injury, workplace health and safety practitioners, and medical and allied health professionals. They work in private practice, hospitals, gyms, aged care, government agencies or for sports teams.

The Bachelor of Exercise and Sports Science combines practitioner-led in-class instruction with professional and practical experience via hands-on learning and placements. You’ll study anatomy; biomechanics; exercise physiology; human growth, development and ageing; motor learning and control; performance analysis; and strength and conditioning.

About Macquarie University

Macquarie University is recognised globally for its pre-eminence in key research disciplines, as well as producing graduates who are among the most sought-after professionals in the world.

Since our foundation in 1964, we have aspired to be a different type of university: one unbound by ivory towers and sandstone walls. Rather, we are focused on fostering collaboration between students, academics, industry and society, encouraging all to traverse the boundaries of their own perspectives and effect change.

Over the years, we have grown to become the centre of a vibrant local and global community – a place of constant stimulus and human interaction. Together, we advance world-class theoretical thinking and translate it into real-world solutions.

We’re connecting people across the most diverse fields of knowledge to create bold new possibilities: for their careers, intellectual endeavours, enterprises and the common good.
