Degree Programs
Programs you would enrol in to study Exercise & Sport Science, Food Science & Human Nutrition, Marine Science or Sustainable Resource Management
Bachelor of Science
The Bachelor of Science offers majors in Marine Science and Sustainable Resource Management, among a number of other science majors. These can be taken as single majors, together as a double major, or either can be taken in conjunction with any other major of your choice.
The BSc is a very flexible program allowing students to take a very specific or very broad focus, depending on their needs and interests.
Further advice for students undertaking either of these majors in the BSc is available as part of the Suggested PATHWAYS in the Bachelor of Science.
Bachelor of Exercise & Sport Science
The degree in Exercise and Sport Science educates students about the use of science to enhance sports performance and the important relationship between exercise and health. The degree provides a foundation in general and biological science and then a series of specialised courses in the Exercise & Sport Sciences. There are also many other relevant courses available that are complimentary to Exercise & Sport Science such as nutrition, pharmacology, public health, health promotion, management and physical education. This degree has been designed to provide sound theoretical knowledge as well as practical skills for exercise testing and prescription for the purpose of improving sports performance and general health.
Bachelor of Food Science and Human Nutrition
Food Science and Human Nutrition gives students the opportunity to learn about what is happening at the leading edge of scientific endeavour, and become familiar with the latest areas such as molecular nutrition, nutritional genetics and functional foods. Who knows, the skills you learn here may one day help reduce the 4 million cases of food poisoning in Australia every year; offer choices, even cures, to the 5-8% of children who live with life threatening food allergies; or give hope to the 67% of men and 52% of women in Australia at risk of developing cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure or heart disease.
