Play a critical role enhancing the health of the nation with the Master of Clinical Exercise Physiology from Charles Sturt University. This degree prepares you for a rewarding career in this growing allied health profession. It is fully accredited by Exercise and Sports Science Australia (ESSA) - in fact, this is the first postgraduate online exercise physiology degree to be accredited in Australia, gaining accreditation in 2012.
Accredited exercise physiologists deliver preventative exercise programs and interventions for the management of chronic and complex conditions and injuries - making a difference to individuals and communities.
Now even more affordable: save on your fees with a Commonwealth supported place (CSP). A CSP also means you can apply for a HECS-HELP loan to pay for your studies and defer repayment until you earn above a certain amount. Check the 'Fees' section to see how much you can save with a CSP.
This course is part of an articulated program of study. Articulated programs allow you to build on your study to achieve the right level of qualification for you.
Entry into the Master of Clinical Exercise Physiology is competitive based on GPA. To be eligible to apply, prospective students must:
Applicants must also meet English language requirements. This requires a minimum overall academic IELT score of 7 with no score below a 7 in each of the individual skill areas (listening, reading, writing and speaking) or other qualification with scores deemed equivalent.
For each 8-point subject you are enrolled in, you should expect to spend 10 to 12 hours per week working on assignments and assigned readings, tutorial assistance, individual or group research/study, forum activity, workplace learning, and attending lectures, intensive schools, or examinations. If you are studying four subjects per session, this is equivalent to a full-time job. The workload for some subjects may vary as a result of approved course design.
You may need to attend an online or on-campus intensive school for certain subjects in this course. These schools usually involve lectures, tutorials and practicals that will give you a deeper understanding of your subject.
This course consists of nine subjects in total, eight core subjects plus one 32 point restricted elective subject. This 32-point subject contains the clinical placement hours required in the course. Enrolment in the restricted elective subject is dependent upon the student's mode of study. Full-time students will complete the subject within one session of study and part-time students will complete the subject across two sessions of study.
