Sport and Exercise Science + Psychology Murdoch University

Are you a believer in the saying "use it or lose it"? Put that to work as you learn how to prescribe exercise to improve the movement of both athletes and the general population.

With your interest in sport, exercise and health, this major gives you the opportunity to obtain the knowledge and skills of two complimentary disciplines to broaden your career options. With an increasing focus on the importance of healthy, active lifestyles, exercise science continues to be a growing discipline within Australia and around the world.

You'll explore the major fields in psychology including human development, neuroscience, and emotion to gain an understanding of how both nature and nurture shape us as people. You'll also understand key psychological factors and how they are applied to a sports setting.

You'll develop job-ready skills in analysis, writing, research, communication and teamwork and in your third year, you'll have the opportunity to learn hands on and apply what you've learnt within an industry placement.
