COURSE DESCRIPTIONThis boutique course is a dual disciplinary degree integrating biomedical science and exercise science into a compelling new area of study. The course covers the fundamentals of biomedical and exercise science and how the structure and function of the body is influenced by exercise and how it is impacted by disease. It offers a streamlined curriculum delivered by specialist research academics, with the flexibility of an elective in the final year, to prepare students for research. This course also aims to develop a solid foundation in designing research methodologies and critically analysing research findings. The application of analytical techniques to a range of practical scenarios including workplaces and community settings will offer students a blend of theoretical and experiential learning, as well as the experience of participating in active research as a team member.
The course is a demonstration of Victoria University’s strategic commitment to healthy and active living and is closely linked with the University’s Institute of Sports, Exercise and Active Living (ISEAL) and Collaborative Research Network in partnership with the University of Melbourne and the Australian Institute of Musculoskeletal Science (AIMSS). Students will be entering a period of growing demand for graduates with training in the field of exercise and biomedical sciences. This is reflected in the over-riding mantra of the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and Exercise, Sports Science Australia (ESSA) “”.
The course aligns with VU’s strategic direction and capitalises on investments in new medical research facilities at Sunshine Hospital and exercise and sport science facilities at the Footscray Park campus. Research into acute physiological responses and chronic adaptations following the repeated stress of exercise (with training) in muscle tissues will increase the understanding of both cellular and whole body physiology.
Upon completion of the course, students will have the knowledge and skills to demonstrate,
1. A broad knowledge of the fundamentals of biomedical science, exercise science and physiology.
2. The ability to apply this theoretical knowledge to practical situations in the laboratory simulated learning environments, and community and industry settings, sometimes as part of a research team.
3. The capability to independently design and develop a research proposal that:
•demonstratesanunderstandingoftheprinciplesofscientificresearch,experiment design and project design.
•developsskillsinaccessing,selecting,recording,reviewingandmanagingresearch data and research information.
•criticallyanalysesresearchdataandotherinformation.
•considerssocial,cultural,andenvironmentalissuesintheresearchdesign.
•adoptsethicalpracticeincludingpreparinganapplicationforethicsapproval.
•communicatesinformationinoralandwrittenformstoarangeofassociatesincluding supervisors, peers, research teams; community and industry partners.
WHERE DO I STUDY?This course is delivered across both the St Albans and Footscray Park Campuses.
WHAT’S IN IT FOR ME?Graduates will be well placed to undertake further study in the fields of clinical exercise science, sports science, biomedical science, dietetics, education or other doctoral studies. You will be also well equipped to work in scientific, research or sports science organisations. The course offers face-to-face delivery, features extensive laboratory and practical learning applications which include Learning in the Workplace and Community projects in industry, and community, professional and research scenarios.
HOW DOES IT WORK?This course is offered over three years on a full-time basis leading to a Bachelor of Science (Biomedical and Exercise Science). This course has no mid-year intake, is offered on-campus only and has a specific subject program for the first 2 years with flexibility to enrol in an elective in third year.
