Why a Bachelor of Health Science (Nutrition and Exercise)
Nutrition and exercise go hand in hand when it comes to living a healthy life. Health practitioners with a dual skill set in these two important areas of health are in demand.
In this degree, you'll develop expert knowledge on national physical activity and dietary guidelines, as well as current and emerging trends in the industry. In addition to building skills in health evaluation, project management and biological sciences, you'll also explore relationships between individuals and society that lead to population health patterns.
As a graduate, you'll come out with the skills to interpret scientific research and analyse quantitative and qualitative data to translate science into practical eating and exercise advice.
This degree allows you to put your knowledge into practice - you’ll work on projects that have the potential to make a difference to the health and well-being of those around you.
UniSA Online's teaching staff come with many decades of experience in exercise science and nutrition education. As a student, you'll learn from expert academics and researchers who are leaders in their field.
