Bachelor of Science (Exercise, Sports and Rehabilitation Science) - BSc(Curtin) - 314163
Health SciencesThe Exercise and Sports Science major within the Bachelor of Science (Exercise, Sports and Rehabilitation Science) is designed to provide you with knowledge of the human body and how it relates to sports and exercise, and the practical skills to apply your knowledge in a professional setting.
You will study a combination of theoretical and practical subjects, beginning with an interprofessional year in which you'll explore the foundations of anatomy, structure and function of the human body, psychology, health and health behaviours. The following years will be devoted to a more intensive study of the exercise and sports physiology, biomechanics, motor control, motor learning and skill acquisition, and exercise and sports psychology areas.
The course will help develop your communications skills and other attributes essential for client-centred practice. You will also enhance your critical thinking and problem solving abilities, and you will develop practical skills in laboratory and field settings.
A major in Rehabilitation Science is proposed for offer in 2013. Graduates of this major will contribute to restoring the health of individuals and community groups and assisting those with disabilities to live optimally within the community.
Please note: Participation is obligatory in laboratory classes which require appropriate disrobing when acting as a client in a peer group, and physically manipulating peers and clients including lifting, supporting and moving people.
If you complete the requirements of the Exercise and Sports Science Major you will graduate with the award title Bachelor of Science (Exercise and Sports Science). If you complete the requirements of the Rehabilitation Science Major you will graduate with the award title Bachelor of Science (Rehabilitation Science).
