Bachelor of Science (International Exercise and Sports Science)
Edith Cowan University (ECU)
Type of institution: University/Higher Education Institution
Level: Undergraduate
CRICOS: 00279B
This International Dual Degree provides you with an opportunity to gain valuable international experience while receiving two degrees. Graduates will receive both a Bachelor of Science (International Exercise and Sports Science) from ECU and a BSc (Hons) Sport, Health, and Exercise Sciences dual degree from the University of Portsmouth (UK). This international dual degree involves three years of study at ECU (years 1, 2 and 4) and one year in the UK at the University of Portsmouth (year 3). If you are interested in health, fitness and general well-being, and like the idea of helping other people improve their lifestyle or sports performance through exercise, you should explore a career in Exercise Science. Your degrees will prepare you for a variety of professional roles, you could work with elite sportspeople, promote health in the community, work in corporate health or a wide range of other exciting environments. Your studies will give you the skills to design, implement and evaluate exercise programs targeted at improving general health and well-being, helping to prevent or reduce the impact of chronic disease and enhancing athletic performance. You can also specialise in a related field, with majors in Football Performance, Health Promotion, Nutrition, Occupational Safety and Health and Sport Business helping broaden your career prospects. You can also use this course as a pathway to further study in areas such as clinical exercise physiology, education, dietetics and strength and conditioning coaching.
