Why study the Bachelor of Human Movement Studies?

This program has been discontinued and replaced with the Bachelor of Exercise and Sport Sciences and Bachelor of Health, Sport and Physical Education.

This degree has two majors or areas of specialisation - one in Exercise Science and one in Education.

The Human Movement Studies (Exercise Science) degree is designed to prepare graduates for work as exercise scientists prescribing and managing exercise in health and fitness centres and hospitals, and acting as consultants to community, cardiac rehabilitation and corporate fitness programs.

The Human Movement Studies (Education) degree is offered for students wishing to qualify as specialist teachers of physical education, health education and science.
