Master of Clinical Exercise Physiology (Rehabilitation)

Admission requirements

Entry into the Master of Clinical Exercise Physiology (Rehabilitation) requires:

• Bachelor Degree in Exercise Science and/or Sport Science, or equivalent

and

• evidence of approved graduate entry membership with Exercise and Sports Science Australia (ESSA)

or

• evidence of pending graduate entry membership with Exercise and Sports Science Australia (ESSA) due to an inadequate number of apparently healthy practicum hours only (i.e. all Exercise Science knowledge and skills criteria are met).

Therefore, applicants must meet point one above and either point two or point three. Evidence of graduate entry membership status (approved or pending) can only be provided via an ESSA assessment letter.

Please Note: An ESSA assessment letter must be included with your application.

Evidence of ESSA graduate entry membership status (i.e. approved graduate entry membership or pending graduate entry membership with an assessment letter) or proof of submission of an application for graduate entry membership MUST be provided with an admission application. Those students who provide evidence of submitting an application for graduate entry membership with their application for course admission MUST demonstrate membership status prior to the HECS-Help census date of the first session of study otherwise they will be withdrawn from the course. Please note that ESSA may require up to 45 days for processing applications and providing an assessment letter

Please see the links below for ESSA membership information and application instructions:

• www.essa.org.au/membership-types
• www.essa.org.au/membership-application-forms

Because the Master of Clinical Exercise Physiology (Rehabilitation) is a one year postgraduate course in Clinical Exercise Physiology that is accrediated with ESSA, offers for course admission can only be made to applicants with an Bachelor level qualification in Exercise Science and/or Sports Science or equivalent (e.g. Human Movement or Physical Education) that demonstrate they meet all Exercise Science knowledge and skills criteria. Knowledge and skills in Exercise Science are assumed knowledge and are not addressed in this course.

Applicants with a Bachelor level qualification in Exercise Science and/or Sports Science or equivalent (e.g. Human Movement or Physical Education) with pending graduate entry membership ESSA that have not achieved all Exercise Science knowledge and skills criteria may be able to satisfy the additional study requirements outlined on the ESSA assessment letter by completing subjects in the Graduate Diploma of Exercise and Sport Science, which are offered by distance education.

It is the applicants responsibility to seek feedback from ESSA regarding the suitability of such subjects prior to enrollment.

Information for current Exercise Science (full) members with ESSA

Applicants with current Exercise Science (full) membership with ESSA have demonstrated they have met all Exercise Science knowledge and skills criteria and are eligible for course admission. However, applicants with Exercise Science (full) membership that are seeking credit for the 140 hours placement with apparently healthy persons are required to apply for graduate entry membership so these hours can be formally assessed against exercise physiology requirements. Applicants with current Exerise Science (full) membership that do not apply for graduate entry membership will be required to complete all 500 hours of placement.

English language proficiency

The University has minimum requirements for English language proficiency prior to entry to our courses. Some courses also have a requirement for a higher entry or exit level of English proficiency. More information on English language requirements.

Internet access

CSU places great emphasis on services to its students. It is a leader in the provision of online services and, in particular, the use of the internet in the support of teaching, administration and communications with students.

The online environment is so integrated into all aspects of student life and the learning experience at CSU that the University now assumes that all on campus and distance education students at CSU will have ongoing access to an internet connected computer capable of communicating with CSU online systems.

Students enrolled in Information Technology subjects (i.e. with an ITC subject code) may be required to have additional hardware and/or software that is deemed essential for the completion of the learning activities in that subject.
