Master of Clinical Exercise Physiology (Rehabilitation)

What is this course about?

CSU's Master of Clinical Exercise Physiology (Rehabilitation) aims to offer students a flexible set of professional development and employment pathway options.

Students graduating from this course will possess a postgraduate qualification in Exercise Science, a field of work in which a three year undergraduate qualification is increasingly seen as insufficient.

The objective of the Master of Clinical Exercise Physiology (Rehabilitation) is to develop rehabilitation knowledge and competencies in the following areas:

• Cardiorespiratory
• Metabolic
• Musculoskeletal
• Neurological
• Mental Health
• Cancer.

The course is also designed to achieve a generic set of knowledge and competencies.
These include: 

• Ethics
• Pathophysiology
• Evidenced-based practice
• Communicating with patients

In addition to preparing students for a Rehabilitation specialisation, this course provides a context in which students are expected to develop competencies proposed by ESSA (Exercise and Sports Science Australia).

Access to allowances for study

The Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR) now offers student income support to students undertaking study in a number of professionally-oriented Master by coursework degrees.

Eligible students undertaking approved Master degrees will be able to access Youth Allowance, AUSTUDY, ABSTUDY or Pensioner Education Supplement. To be eligible for student income support through Youth Allowance and AUSTUDY, students will still need to be studying full-time and to satisfy all other Youth Allowance and AUSTUDY program requirements, including personal, parental or partner income tests.  Students who have queries about masters courses and their income support entitlements should contact Centrelink on 13 2490 for further information.
