Masters of Exercise Science (Strength and Conditioning)
We are very pleased to announce our NSCA Graduate Recognition in Applied Curriculum
Introduction
The Master of Exercise Science (Strength and Conditioning) provides an opportunity for advanced study in the field of Strength and Conditioning. The three semester full time (or equivalent part time) degree is designed for the student that has already completed a Bachelor degree in Sports Science or a related area, but wishes to enhance their training in the specific field of Strength and Conditioning. Exit options exist for students who have completed three units (postgraduate certificate), six units (postgraduate diploma) or nine units for masters.
The degree is offered entirely on-line over the Internet and is designed specifically for the Strength and Conditioning specialist who is already working in the field and wishes to add to their qualifications.

Two Week Residential Studying in Perth
A major emphasis of the Masters of Exercise Science (Strength and Conditioning) degree is the development of practical skills. To achieve this aim the course requires completion of a two week residential-based stay at the Joondalup campus in Perth, Western Australia. During this time students will be exposed to some of the world's most sophisticated equipment and up-to-date information currently available in the Strength and Conditioning field. Hands on experience, development of practical skills and networking with other Strength and Conditioning specialists are a highlight of this intensive course.
