Physical activity and healthy eating are fundamental to good health and wellbeing for all human beings. Not only do they reduce the risk of disease, they improve or maintain overall quality of life through enhanced mental and social wellbeing.

This course is ideal for students who are passionate about fitness and creating a better life for others.  The Bachelor of Exercise and Sports Science/Bachelor of Nutrition Science will uniquely equip graduates to become experts in professions related to both exercise/sport science and nutrition science.  Graduates will capitalise on the synergies between the two fields of study to promote optimal health and nutrition through the lifespan.

Graduates of this double degree will be eligible to apply for further study in nutrition research or in dietetics to become an accredited practising dietitian.  In addition, they will be eligible to apply for further study in exercise science/sports science research and clinical exercise physiology to become an accredited exercise physiologist, or further study in high performance sport.
