Graduate Certificate
The Bond University Graduate Certificate in Sports Science is designed to develop specialist knowledge and skills in required sport science sub-disciplines including communication, leadership, and negotiation, clinical sports science, performance analysis and health research design and planning. The program is designed to build upon undergraduate studies in sports science to develop specialist knowledge and skills relating to strength and conditioning and high performance science of elite athletes. The program is suitable for graduates in exercise and sports science aspiring for a career in high performance sport, or for established professionals seeking to move into specialist sports science service roles. The program is suitable for graduates with ambitions to enter postgraduate sports science as a pathway into postgraduate specialisation in strength & conditioning and high performance science or for internationally educated strength and conditioning coaches or high performance managers requiring professional updates before applying for Australian qualification recognition. Placing a strong emphasis on comprehensive practical experience, the program provides exposure to authentic high performance sports science. The Graduate Certificate is delivered at the world-class Bond Institute of Health and Sport where you will gain exceptional, high-quality practical experience in our high performance gym and sports science research laboratories. You will have access to specialised technology used in research to deliver a wide range of athlete testing and performance analysis. These facilities provide sports science testing and training services to a variety of elite and sub-elite athletes, providing an exceptional learning experience. Upon successful completion of the Graduate Certificate in Sports Science, students are eligible to enrol in the Graduate Diploma in Sports Science and subsequent Master of Sports Science. Subjects completed in the Graduate Certificate are credited to the Diploma.
