Master of Engineering Science in Energy Systems

at University of New South Wales - Kensington Campus Australia

Join the forefront of two growing disciplines with an education that reflects real-world practice. This program explores the impact of exercise on the body. You’ll learn how to use exercise to manage chronic disease, enhance health and improve physical performance. As a future exercise professional, you’ll play a vital role in building healthier communities. 

Accelerate your career with a comprehensive education in exercise science and exercise physiology. In just four years and one term, you'll gain both a Bachelor of Applied Exercise Science and a Master of Clinical Exercise Physiology. This combined degree explores the science of human performance and how exercise is used as a rehabilitative and preventative therapy, equipping you to care for both healthy patients and those with chronic disease across two areas of practice.

Exercise scientists specialise in the prescription and delivery of exercise to enhance general health and improve athletic performance. Exercise scientists draw on a broad array of knowledge from subdisciplines such as biomechanics, motor control and exercise prescription to develop and deliver exercise initiatives to improve individual and community health. 

Exercise physiologists expand on the exercise science skillset by using exercise as a rehabilitative and preventative therapy to manage a wide range of chronic diseases including cancers, musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, metabolic, respiratory, neurological and mental health conditions. 
This degree will prepare you to meet the accreditation requirements to work as an exercise scientist and/or exercise physiologist. You'll be qualified to work across a wide range of roles and settings including hospitals, private practices, aged care, mental health clinics and workplace health and rehabilitation.

If you're passionate about helping people improve their physical and mental health, this degree will set you on the path to a fulfilling career.
