Welcome message from the Head of School
In a short period since its establishment in July 2003, the School of Human Movement Studies has established itself as a national leader in providing programs in Exercise Science, Health and Physical Education and Sports Journalism.
The School prides itself on teaching excellence in the core areas of exercise science, backed by a multidisciplinary and cutting edge research profile. The School aims to provide students with the skills and knowledge needed in a dynamic and modern employment sector. Our graduates have a distinguished record in gaining employment in all facets of the sports and exercise industries as well as teaching, and we strive to provide courses which will give our graduates theedge.
The School is comprised of 14 full time academic staff, PhD and Honours students, and over 400 undergraduate students undertaking exercise science courses with psychology, business, teaching and communication-journalism.
The School provides back-up support to regional athletes through the Western Region Academy of Sport (WRAS) and through this, our students are able to engage in practical work relevant to the profession.
Our teaching and research facilities are second to none and all students have the opportunity to develop a range of skills which enhance the theoretical components of their training.
If you are interested in exercise and physical activity and would like to explore your options with us, I encourage you to make your way through our website or simply call us or if you prefer, simply click on this link to a video which outlines the various employment paths from our degree in Exercise Science.
