About this program

The Bachelor of Sport and Exercise Science Bachelor of International Studies (Honours) at the University of Technology Sydney is a rigorous five-year double degree programme that combines in-depth scientific study of sport, exercise, and human movement with advanced international perspectives and research skills. Students will explore areas such as exercise physiology, biomechanics, motor control, and sport psychology, while the international studies stream provides language acquisition, global studies, and either a capstone research thesis or professional experience relating to international contexts.

The course structure typically involves structured semesters with a mix of core sport and exercise science units (measured in credit points), specialist electives, international studies units, and an Honours research component in the final year. Many students gain practical experience through professional placements, a vital part of the degree in alignment with Australian industry needs, and may undertake a period of study abroad to enhance their global outlook. The Honours component develops advanced research skills through an independent research project supervised by experienced academics.

Graduates gain scientific analysis skills, practical laboratory and fieldwork capability, communication and teamwork proficiencies, intercultural competence, and research acumen. The international scope and bilingual skills set this programme apart, making it ideal for students interested in careers at the intersection of sport, health, and global engagement.

This course is well-suited to those who seek diverse roles in Australia or internationally within the growing sports, health, and recreation sectors, and desire a solid foundation for further research or professional practice. Work rights of up to 48 hours per fortnight during semesters, and eligibility for the post-study work stream of the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485), can apply. International applicants must evidence English proficiency at a level acceptable to UTS, with several recognised pathways to meet this requirement. Please confirm all details on the official course page.
