Bachelor of Applied Science (Exercise and Sport Science) and Master of Nutrition and Dietetics

This combined degree provides a pathway to a career that integrates exercise and physical activity with disease prevention, health, rehabilitation, nutrition and sports performance. You will learn to design exercise and nutrition programs to improve quality of life across diverse populations. Graduates are eligible to become accredited exercise scientists (with Exercise and Sports Science Australia), nutritionists, or practicing dietitians (with the Dietitians Association of Australia).



The five-year course enables students to design effective exercise and nutrition programs for healthy individuals, elite athletes, and people with a disability or lifestyle diseases such as heart disease, diabetes or hypertension.



Students will learn to coach people to meet specific goals and provide advice on a healthy balanced diet, weight management, food allergies or intolerances, as well as conditions like diabetes, heart disease, cancer and digestive problems.
