Degree Overview

Designed by highly-respected industry practitioners, our Bachelor of Physiotherapy/Bachelor of Exercise & Sport Science program is the only degree in Australia. Accredited by the Australian Physiotherapy Council, this double degree provides a pathway that incorporates two complementary health and exercise sciences programs.

Physiotherapy Exercise & Sport Science share a common bond in much of the human sciences while having specialised knowledge and application within each path. This allows you to develop profession-specific areas of knowledge and skills from both degrees.

To ensure that you graduate with the practical skills and training necessary to excel, this combined degree contains 1150 hours of workplace experience. This practicum component comprises physiotherapy-specific clinical placements and Exercise & Sport Science practical experiences.

Your formal physiotherapy clinical education program begins with a five-week placement in Year Three and continues in Year Four. It culminates in almost full-time clinical practice during Year Five of the course. Upon graduation, you will have developed your clinical assessment, treatment skills, reflective professional practice in laboratories, and exposure to patients in physiotherapy practices, hospitals or community health settings in urban and rural locations.

The program also strongly focuses on evidence-based and reflective practice ensuring graduates will be well prepared to meet the challenge of current and future health provision across the many clinical and non-clinical areas in which Physiotherapists are employed.
