Exercise science courses

7 exercise science qualifications in Australia, compared side by side: cost, duration, providers and where each one leads.

Which of these is right for you?

We don't recommend one provider over another, but four things usually decide which qualification is the right one to start with.

How much time can you give it?: A certificate usually runs months, not years, and gets you working sooner. A degree is a multi-year commitment, but it's the only route into a registered profession like pharmacist.
Do you want to study online, on campus, or both?: Check each qualification's study modes below. Some are online only, some require placements or on-campus units even in a mostly online course.
What's your entry point?: If you're starting from school leaver or career change with no background in the field, the lowest rung on the ladder is usually the realistic start, not the top qualification.
Which role are you aiming for?: Some roles need one specific qualification. Others accept several. The roles section below says which qualification on this page actually gets you there.
