About this program

The Bachelor of Exercise Science (Clinical Practice) at Victoria University prepares students for roles focused on human movement, physical activity and health. Spanning three years, this degree is structured through a series of core and elective units of study, each attached to specific credit points. Students explore subjects like anatomy, biomechanics, exercise physiology, and motor control, all underpinned by relevant clinical practice content.

The course places strong emphasis on practical skills and application. Throughout their study, students participate in supervised practice-based activities and have opportunities to engage with real clients in on-campus facilities or through professional placements. Work-integrated learning is woven into the programme, connecting theoretical knowledge to genuine experience in clinical and community contexts.

By the end of the degree, students gain skills in assessing movement, prescribing exercise for health and rehabilitation, and working collaboratively with clients and health professionals. Graduates also learn to apply evidence-based approaches critical for today’s exercise science sector. This course is suitable for those interested in improving health outcomes, working in allied health or progressing to postgraduate studies such as physiotherapy.

Victoria University supports international students through English pathway programmes and recognises major English language tests, in line with Department of Home Affairs student visa requirements. While enrolled, students can work up to 48 hours per fortnight, giving them valuable Australian workplace exposure.
