22. Exercise and Sport Science
This course is a 2 year graduate entry master's degree designed to produce graduates who possess the knowledge, competencies and clinical experience required for safe and effective clinical exercise practice. Students follow a prescribed program of study with a total of 96 credit points.
The honours program is an optional, additional semester of full-time study in which the student conducts a research project and writes a thesis under the supervision of a member of the academic staff. Admission is competitive and based on the student’s marks across all units of study. The student must be eligible for the award of a pass degree, and be considered by the head of the program to have the academic aptitude to conduct a research project.
Admission requirements
Admission to the Master of Exercise Physiology is competitive. Applicants are considered on the basis of the undergraduate degree obtained and the grade point average obtained in that degree. The minimum entry standard will be a credit average in the undergraduate degree.
To qualify for admission to this course, applicants shall possess:
- an award of Bachelor of Applied Science (Exercise and Sport Science) from The University of Sydney or the University of Western Sydney, or
- an award of Bachelor of Science (Health and Sports Science) from the University of NSW, or
- an award of Bachelor of Exercise Science from the University of Wollongong, the Charles Sturt University or the Australian Catholic University, or
- an award of Bachelor of Exercise Science and Rehabilitation from the University of Wollongong, or
- an award of Bachelor of Sport and Exercise Science from Southern Cross University, or
- an award of Bachelor of Exercise Science and Nutrition (majored in Exercise Science) from Southern Cross University, or
- an award of Bachelor of Exercise and Sport Science from University of Newcastle, or
- such studies from a University degree as are deemed to be equivalent to (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6) or (7).
Applicants who possess academic qualifications other than listed in ((1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6) or (7) above must provide a portfolio to the discipline of Exercise and Sport Science detailing their previous tertiary studies, in addition to their UAC application. In particular, unit of study descriptions pertaining to previous studies in the following assumed knowledge areas will need to be supplied: human anatomy, human physiology, biomechanics/physics, psychology/ behavioural science, research design/statistics, and biochemistry.
In addition, applicants will also need to possess a current certificate of competency in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR). This certificate must be kept current throughout the candidature.
Professional Experience
Across the 2 year course, students engage in 500-650 hours of clinical experience. Students commence by gaining experience with low risk clients (at least 140 hours) and progress to working with clients with chronic disease conditions (at least 360 hours).
In order to undertake clinical experience, students must:
- have a current certificate of competency in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) before attending any practicum placement
- undergo a criminal records check
- seek medical advice and vaccination according to the NSW Health Department Policy Directive
- comply with the requirements of the NSW Child Protection (Prohibited Employment) Act
- comply with the NSW Health Records and Information Privacy Act (2002).
Failure to do so may jeopardise placements and the ability to fulfil course requirements.
Uniform Requirements
Students are required to dress professionally when attending clinical placements. Students should wear the Exercise and Sport Science polo shirt (as supplied by the Student Guild), smart dark trousers, slacks or skirt (length to be at least to the top of the knee), closed-in, flat-heeled, dark leather shoes (no sports shoes unless they are of an appropriate colour and are neat and tidy).
Careers
Graduates of the Master of Exercise Physiology are equipped to work in exercise rehabilitation. Graduates may work in private practice or in the health care system.
Professional Recognition
An application for accreditation by the Australian Association of Exercise and Sports Science (AAESS) National Universities Course Accreditation Program at the level of Exercise Physiologist is in preparation. However, in the interim, graduates would be able to apply for Exercise Physiologist accreditation through the evidence-based application process which AAESS has in place. The AAESS accredited Exercise Physiologist is the practitioner who is competent for practice with clients with chronic disease and disability. The AAESS accredited Exercise Physiologist is eligible to provide services under Medicare, Workcover, Private Health Insurance Funds and the Department of Veterans Affairs.

This course aims to provide advanced study in the broad discipline of clinical exercise physiology and biomechanics as it applies to rehabilitation of individuals with disease or disability. It is designed to equip graduates with an in-depth understanding of applied physiology, clinical biomechanics, and the effect of health disorders on exercise performance, together with the knowledge and skills to conduct exercise testing of symptomatic and asymptomatic population groups and prescribe appropriate exercise programs. Clinical exercise studies related to nutrition and psychosocial attributes may also be undertaken.
Admission requirements
To qualify for admission, applicants shall possess an Australian bachelor's degree (Pass or Honours) (or overseas equivalent) in medicine, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, nursing, physical education or other related fields. A background in anatomy or biomechanics and physiology is essential. Progression into the honours program is contingent upon the student achieving a credit average over 48 credit points.
Special circumstances
In special circumstances a person may be admitted as a candidate on the submission of an academic transcript and professional attainment that is approved by the faculty.
