This field of study will prepare you for research and practice in sport and exercise psychology through a combination of coursework, supervised practice, and research experience.
Careers in sport and exercise psychology provide diverse opportunities from helping elite athletes develop the psychological skills needed to reach peak performance to conducting research and awareness into the benefits of exercise for the treatment of chronic illness.
As a graduate, you'll be eligible for registration as a psychologist in Australia and for associate membership in the College of Sports Psychologists.
