Approach to learning and assessmentWork integrated learningProgram structureProgram transition planApproach to learning and assessment
Throughout your program, you will experience various teaching and learning strategies that will cater for your individual learning styles and assist in learning. You will develop the skills and capabilities expected of an exercise scientist via the following:
- you will be expected to attend lectures, in which key theoretical knowledge is presented
- seminar and group work, in which issues around theory and practice are considered
- practical classes, in which the theory is applied to a practical context.
In addition, individual research work, case studies, problem-based learning and group work will all form part of your learning experience. You have access to year level co-ordinators and should seek help if required.
The assessment tasks that you will be required to do throughout your program will develop your graduate capabilities making you more employable, and will include examinations, laboratory reports, presentations and reflective journals.
If you have a long-term medical condition, disability and/or other form of disadvantage, it may be possible to negotiate to vary aspects of the learning or assessment methods. You can contact the program coordinator or Equitable Learning Services (https://www.rmit.edu.au/students/support-and-facilities/student-support/equitable-learning-services) if you would like to find out more.
If you have already developed areas of skill and knowledge included in this program (for example, through prior studies or work experience), you can apply for credit once you have enrolled in this program. There is information on the RMIT University website about how to apply for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) at: www.rmit.edu.au/students/enrolment/credit/he.
Top of pageWork integrated learning
RMIT University is committed to providing you with an education that strongly links formal learning with professional or vocational practice. As a student enrolled in this RMIT University program you will:
- undertake and be assessed on structured activities that allow you to learn, apply and demonstrate your professional or vocational practice
- interact with industry and community when undertaking these activities
- complete these activities in real work contexts or situations.
These interactions and the work context provide a distinctive source of feedback to you to assist your learning.
Any or all of these aspects of a WIL experience may be in a simulated workplace environment.
In this program, you will undertake specific course(s) that focus on work integrated learning. You will be assessed on professional or vocational work in a workplace setting (real or simulated) and receive feedback from those involved in your industry.
The following courses require work with clients on placement.
- OHTH2116 Advanced Performance Analysis and Prescription
- OHTH2115 Human Movement Field Experience
These courses provide the extended work placement.
Other courses in the program involve simulations with teaching staff, peers and standardised clients.

Program transition plan
Important: change to discontinuation plan for BP296 Bachelor of Applied Science (Exercise and Sport Science)
BP296 Bachelor of Applied Science (Exercise and Sport Science) has been formally discontinued. RMIT has developed a cross-institutional enrolment plan with La Trobe University Bundoora to support you to complete your program.
Current students will be taught out at RMIT until the end of Semester 2 2022. Any students remaining in BP296 after 2022 will be supported to complete their program by being provided with a personalised enrolment plan with a combination of RMIT and La Trobe courses.
If you have any questions about the teach out of BP296 or your individual enrolment plan, you are strongly advised to contact the Associate Dean, Allied Health Cluster, A/Prof Tony Zhang.
Discontinuation of BP296 Bachelor of Applied Science (Exercise and Sport Science)
BP296 Bachelor of Applied Science (Exercise and Sport Science) has been formally discontinued and will not be taking any new applicants from Sem 1 2021. Current students will be taught out and given the opportunity to complete the program prior to Semester 2, 2024. You will be provided with an individual transition plan to ensure your enrolment will allow you to complete your study in the program before Semester 2, 2024. You are strongly advised to contact the Associate Dean, Allied Health Cluster, A/Prof Tony Zhang, to discuss any queries you have about your individual plan.
