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.

Outcomes

Students are able to (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) apply independent time and work management skills and the ability to develop leadership potential; (4) demonstrate advanced computer skills; and (5) apply 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.
