Course sub-headings

Course overview

The Graduate Certificate in Applied Sport Science is designed as an exit point option from the Master of Applied Sport Science. The Graduate Certificate requires the student to undertake two core units in high performance management in sport and a two unit elective stream in either strength and conditioning, sport performance analysis or scientific methods and design for sport scientists. The core units plus the elective stream will prepare the student to work in specific areas of the sport science industry.

Indicative student workload

As a student in an online course with on campus intensives in some units in the Faculty of Health you will be expected to spend at least 11-13 hours per unit every week participating in a range of teaching activities each week. This could include classes, seminars, practicals, placements and online interaction. You can refer to the individual unit details in the course structure for more information. You will also need to study and complete assessment tasks in your own time. Teaching, placements and assessment tasks may take place outside of Deakin University teaching periods.

The core units and the strength and conditioning stream both require attendance at a 5 day practical intensive in Trimester 1 and Trimester 3.

Pathways

Depending on the elective stream chosen and other professional accreditation, graduates could work as a strength and conditioning coach, sport performance analyst, a sport scientist or sport performance manager.
