|
The Master of Science (Sports Science) course provides an opportunity for advanced level study and research in a specific area of Sports Science. It is a two year postgraduate program designed to build on a three year undergraduate degree in Sports Science.
Students are expected to apply a range of research methodologies to investigate specific research questions applicable to an area of study in Sports Science.
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
To enter the course students must have successfully completed a Bachelor of Science (Sports Science) or a program of study which contains substantially similar components at an appropriate level. Students who have completed a Bachelor of Science Honours (Sports Science) or equivalent in a relevant field may enter directly into Stage 2 of the Master program.
COURSE LOCATION AND MODE OF STUDY
The course is available by full-time or part-time study on Joondalup campus.
COURSE STRUCTURE
The Master of Science (Sports Science) program comprises two years of full-time study or the equivalent part-time study. Six units of study are undertaken in Stage 1. Stage 2 is devoted to the development of a research thesis under the guidance of a supervisor.
At the conclusion of Stage 1, students who are unable to proceed to Stage 2 may be permitted to graduate with a Post Graduate Diploma of Science (Sports Science).
