Unlock the potential in top sport
The Double Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Bachelor of Sport and Exercise Science offers a unique blend of skills which will help you excel in either profession.
Science in psychology is the study of human behaviour, thoughts and feelings while sport and exercise science is the study of the methods and applications of sub-discipline of human movement studies and how they interact. The combination of these two degrees opens up a world of possibilities and professional opportunities.
The National body that accredits psychology training, the Australian Psychological Society (APS) has formed a College of Sport Psychologists (COSP) as one of its specialisations. This step in some ways reflects the interest and significance sports and exercise now have in the profession of psychology.
So become part of the emerging sport psychology industry or become a psychologist with two more years of study in the Master of Clinical Psychology.
Combine the Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a Bachelor of Sport and Exercise Science at UC to:
- work toward a career in sport psychology
- gain a recognised understanding of sport science and psychology
- be ready to maximise athletic performances at the elite level
- gain strong knowledge of the theory and practice of coaching.
Career opportunities
The sport and exercise science qualification means you can gain employment in:
- coaching children and adults
- shaping coaching resources and facilities
- developing sport in Commonwealth and State Government Departments of sport and recreation
- government bodies, working as a sport development officer.
