Start your sport science career in the right condition
If you’re interested in the science of human movement, but not sure what specialty to focus on, then the 6-month, full time Graduate Certificate in Human Movement Science course is the perfect way to start your career path on the right foot.
This course will boost your knowledge of functional anatomy, biomechanics and exercise physiology while setting the groundwork to allow your study to articulate into a variety of other sports related pathways.
This course allows you to bridge the knowledge gap for graduate entry into a number of Masters programs. This includes UC's Master of Speech Pathology, Master of Strength and Conditioning and satisfies the Australian Physiotherapy Association's requirements for entry into the Master of Physiotherapy.
Study a Graduate Certificate in Human Movement Science at UC and you will:
broaden the skills and knowledge you developed during an undergraduate science degree
learn functional anatomy, biomechanics and exercise physiology
build on your biological or medical science bachelor’s degree to be able to apply for our Master of Physiotherapy, Master of Strength and Conditioning and Master of Speech Pathology degrees.
Opportunities exist for Graduate Certificate in Human Movement Science graduates in the sporting organisation sector, including:
conducting sports science research
gateway to further study in strength and conditioning and physiotherapy
delivering sport science services for sporting teams and institutes
conducting sports events for organisations.
