Bachelor of Exercise Science / Bachelor of Business Studies BExSc BBusSt
CSU’s Bachelor of Exercise Science / Bachelor of Business Studies course recognises the relationship between sport and business and produces graduates who are skilled in both spheres.
Honours is available in Exercise Science or Business
About the course
Sport, exercise and fitness are all part of a wider business sphere. Sportspeople are celebrities, intensely marketed and used in advertising. Sports clothing, nutritional aids and other exercise paraphernalia are heavy demand consumer items. Fitness centres, recreational facilities, and leisure resorts demand personnel who are not only skilled in physical activity but possess business acumen and human resource management knowledge.
The Bachelor of Exercise Science / Bachelor of Business Studies acknowledges that the sport-business environment requires a wide range of skills for active and successful employment. Therefore CSU offers a diverse program to meet the emerging aspirations of all students in the business area.
Where it will take you
The four-year double degree program provides an ideal pathway into occupations in the sport and recreation industry. Students can expect to find employment in management positions in fitness centres, recreation resorts and human resource management.
Your course is recognised by industry

Professional experience
