Course description:

This course is designed to prepare students to work at an advanced level within the movement and health industries. The degree program covers the theoretical issues underpinning movement and health and how to apply such knowledge in dealing with practical issues and contexts in each field. This degree is designed to meet the discipline requirements for secondary school teaching in physical and health education. This course allows health to be explored through the diverse perspectives of history, science, culture, economics and politics. Movement is treated in terms of composition, performance, analysis and life long adherence. This degree caters for those students who are interested in a career in the sport, health or physical activity fields. Graduates gain flexibility in terms of career choice within those industries rather than being committed to a single career, as would occur with a four-year teaching degree. This feature makes the degree ideal for those who wish to teach or those who are less sure of their ultimate career path and want to maximise their options upon graduation. Potential careers include work with community and professional sporting organisations and community and corporate health. This course also provides the required discipline background for secondary school teaching in Physical and Health Education.
