Other information

The Bachelor of Arts in Human Movement Studies was developed as a result of the significant demand for professionals able to provide physical activity services to all sectors of the community.

The course provides students with a strong understanding of the processes and mechanisms underlying human movement, and with the knowledge and skills necessary to manage and plan human movement activities in leisure and education contexts. The course provides graduates with the necessary skills to gain initial employment in the human movement field as well as the analytical skills necessary for critical appraisal of developments in the field.

The program not only provides a substantial academic and professional grounding in human movement, but it also allows students to focus on a particular aspect of the field through specialisations in human movement science, fitness management, sports management and outdoor education.
