The Bachelor of Sport and Exercise Science / Bachelor of Psychology at Murdoch University in Perth brings together human movement science and psychological theory in a four-year double degree. Across this course, students explore topics such as exercise physiology, biomechanics, anatomy, and the scientific basis of sport performance alongside foundational areas in psychology, including cognition, development, and mental health.
Australian undergraduate degrees like this are structured over multiple semesters and require the completion of units of study contributing to a total number of credit points. Students progress through core and elective units, developing both practical and analytical skills. Work-integrated learning forms a significant component: students may take part in placements relevant to both sport science and psychology, which helps build practical experience and professional networks before entering the workforce.
Throughout the degree, students work on building their skills in scientific analysis, research methods, critical thinking, and effective communication. The program suits those interested in understanding the connection between physical activity and mental wellbeing, and who want career options that span sport, exercise, health, or psychological services. Upon graduation, students meet the undergraduate academic requirements for further professional registration or postgraduate study in psychology in Australia; for exercise and sport science, pathways exist toward industry accreditation, though graduates should check the specific registration details with Murdoch University.
Perth offers strong links to sport, health, and psychology sectors, with local organisations and research facilities providing placement and employment opportunities.

During studies, students can work up to 48 hours per fortnight, and after graduation, graduates may be eligible for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) post-study work stream.
