Postgraduate Diploma in Applied Science

Summary

Specialise in Performance Analysis, Physical Conditioning or Exercise Prescription.

This qualification will help you extend and deepen your knowledge of the underpinning base theories and procedures used in the practice environment, in a wider and more encompassing scope than within our Postgraduate Certificate programme. You will also gain a greater understanding of the roles of those who are working with you.

You will have completed an applied project, which allows you to address your practice from multiple perspectives and to position your practice within a wider industry context. This qualification prepares you for further postgraduate study or a career in advanced sport or exercise through the completion of an industry project in your chosen field.

Graduates of this programme can expect to gain employment at advanced practitioner level within a professional organisational setting. This may include government or non-government sport (particularly performance analysis and physical conditioning), rehabilitation, exercise and wellness promotion, fitness industry roles and employee fitness.

• Graduates who focused on Physical Conditioning will be eligible for accreditation with the Australian Strength and Conditioning Association.

• Depending on your postgraduate experiences, graduates who focused on Exercise Prescription will be eligible for accreditation with the New Zealand Register of Clinical Exercise Physiologists, and Sport and Exercise Science New Zealand (Accredited Exercise Physiologist; AEP).
