Honours Overview

Description

Honours in Sport Science, Exercise and Health provides you with interdisciplinary research skills and advanced knowledge in a select sub-discipline area (exercise physiology/biochemistry, biomechanics, motor development, exercise and health psychology or activity promotion). The honours specialisation provides an ideal background for continuance to a PhD or other professional-based research degrees.

You will gain a greater depth of knowledge in your area of specialisation, while also developing research skills. You will learn (1) to plan, administer testing, analyse and present data both in written and oral formats; (2) prepare a written manuscript for peer-reviewed publications; (3) independent time and work management skills and the ability to develop leadership potential; (4) advanced computer skills; and (5) problem-solving and organisational skills.

Entry requirements
(a) a Bachelor of Science with a major in Sport Science or Exercise and Health, or an equivalent qualification, as recognised by UWA; and (b) the equivalent of a UWA weighted average mark of at least 65 per cent in the Level 3 units of the relevant major. Students must secure a supervisor prior to submitting an application.
