including the amount and intensity of activity required to effect change in

specific health outcomes.

You will also learn strategies to include in physical activity programs and

interventions for specific target groups to encourage and support healthy

levels of physical activity, and the skills to identify appropriate methods to

evaluate and modify these programs as required.

Sport coaching*This major sequence focuses on the advancement of theoretical knowledge

and coaching competencies that underpin sport coaching to enhance athletelearning and participation. Topics addressed include coaching philosophy,

issues relevant to coaching, the coachathlete relationship, and the planning

and execution of coaching sessions.

ELLIE INGWERSENBACHELOR OF BUSINESS (SPORT MANAGEMENT)MELBOURNE BURWOOD CAMPUS

I really enjoyed my course especially the mix between commerce

and sports management. The first year of commerce offers a solid

grounding. It eases you in and starts with all the basics, then you

can tailor the course to what you want it to be. The sports side is

good for breaking up the business subjects we were all into that

because we all love sport.

On top of a sports management major I chose to study human

resources (HR). It means I dont have to go into a sports organisation

if I dont want to, I could go into a HR department and work my

way up. It is a broad degree that can take you in any direction

you want.

During my final year, I undertook a work placement at Knox City

Council, working as a leisure assistant in the sport and recreation

department. I assisted with delivering sport to the local community,

created a recreation newsletter and helped with the day-to-day

organisational duties. This is where I want my degree to take me.

CARMEN MARTONBACHELOR OF EXERCISE AND SPORT SCIENCE ESSA SEQUENCEMELBOURNE BURWOOD CAMPUS

I am currently competing at the highest level in my sport

(taekwondo) and I was a semi-finalist at the 2012 London Olympic

Games. Without a doubt I would recommend Deakin to other rising

athletes as a place to study while competing at a high level of sport.

Deakin is a nationally recognised Elite Athlete Friendly University

(EAFU) and it has provided a supportive environment throughout

my study. It has been quite difficult at times to balance

full-time study and full-time training. I have needed extensions

for assignments, exemptions from practical and tutorial classes

due to tournaments and training camps, class/exam timetable

alterations and special consideration. But Deakin allowed these

processes to run as smoothly as possible.

Studying exercise and sport science at Deakin has truly been a

wonderful experience. In my lectures and classes a high standard

of course content, experienced and passionate teaching staff and

state-of-the-art facilities surrounded me. It definitely had a positive

effect on my work ethic and ambitions. Competing at the highest

level in my sport, it is very beneficial to be learning about the most

current trends and research studies.

EMILY MARTINBACHELOR OF EXERCISE AND SPORT SCIENCEMELBOURNE BURWOOD CAMPUS

I chose to study at Deakin because the course offered a broad

range of subjects relating to sport, exercise and health, enabling me

to discover which career areas appealed to me the most.

What I enjoyed most about my course was learning from

experienced lecturers and tutors, who gave insight into the real

world of sport and exercise science, sharing their experiences and

knowledge beyond the general subjects.

I have recently started my own business as an exercise scientist,

coaching and physically training athletes towards their sporting

goals and encouraging the general population to improve their

health status with exercise and lifestyle changes.

My advice for anyone considering university is to delve into as

many placements as possible and put yourself out there. Not only

will you discover where your interests lie, but you will also develop

interpersonal skills that will transfer to numerous workplace

environments.

BECOME AN ACCREDITED EXERCISEPHYSIOLOGIST (AEP) AT DEAKINDeakins Master of Clinical Exercise Physiology aims

to produce quality exercise physiologists who can use

exercise to prevent and rehabilitate disease and injury inthe community. This is the rst and only AEP course in

Victoria to be accredited by Exercise and Sports Science

Australia (ESSA).

Throughout the course you will acquire advanced knowledge

of both the theoretical and applied aspects of clinicalexercise physiology, and high-level skills in analysing,

evaluating and professionally applying your knowledge to

clinical and community populations.

Graduates will be eligible to apply for accreditation as anAEP, and will also meet the eligibility criteria to register

for provider numbers with Medicare Australia, WorkSafe

Victoria, DVA, TAC, and other compensable funds andschemes.

Since AEPs were formally recognised by the Federal

Department of Health and Ageing as allied healthprofessionals able to deliver Medicare-compensableexercise services for those with chronic conditions or

complex care needs, the career opportunities for thosewith an AEP-recognised qualication have increased

signicantly.

To be considered for selection into this course you must

be able to demonstrate eligibility for exercise scientist

accreditation from ESSA, and provide evidence of 140

hours of exercise service delivery for apparently healthyclientele (Deakins Bachelor of Exercise and Sport Science

including the Exercise Science ESSA sequence providesthis prerequisite).

ALEX MORRISBACHELOR OF SPORT DEVELOPMENTMELBOURNE BURWOOD CAMPUS

I chose to study at Deakin because it has an excellent reputation

for providing high-quality sport programs. Deakin has links to many

high-profile sporting people, who contribute to the programs and

provide practical sport opportunities. Furthermore, Deakin has

high-standard facilities, including a superb library and restaurants.

At uni Ive had many opportunities to undertake sport-related

volunteer activities, coach volleyball and basketball for practical

experience in the sport industry, be taught by outstanding

professors and staff, meet many people from around the world

and develop academic and practical skills. In addition, I have had

the opportunity to study overseas for a semester on exchange

at the University of Manitoba, Canada. This was an enriching

experience, and allowed me to travel around a new country and

meet new people.

In the future I would like to work in the sport industry, possibly

as a sport manager or sport chaplain. I would also love to travel

and study more around the world, as there is so much to see and

experience.

The sport industry is a fairly fast-moving industry and with

professionalisation and internationalisation there is the reality

of changing demands and expectations of its labour force.

For this reason, we have a long-standing Sport Management

Advisory Board, which is comprised of industry leaders who meet

twice a year to discuss matters that inform our decisions around

program updates, offerings and delivery in terms of supply and

demand we even have HR specialists in the group! We have found

this to be a powerful way to keep abreast of the changes in the

industry. Each of our staff members also work closely with industry

partners through research, which supplements our advisory boardsadvice on industry needs.

Our graduates are prolifically represented in the sport industry

domestically and internationally. We have had students work in

financing with the Australian Sports Commission, marketing with

Tennis Australia, as managers in talent agencies and with local

councils in sport and recreation management the list is wide

and varied.
