    About

    Advance your knowledge of exercise and sports science by undertaking an honours degree at Deakin.

    Designed for students with a strong undergraduate academic record, the honours year combines coursework and an original piece of research under the guidance of a supervisor. You will gain an understanding of research methods and design as well as experience in project planning and implementation.

    Graduates may apply to enter masters and PhD by research programs.

    Examples of previous honours research pieces include:

    • How does physical activity in childhood improve the adult heart?
    • Can we monitor firefighters fatigue on the job in the same way we monitor our athletes?
    • Influence of game characteristics on decision making in AFL umpires

You will need to meet the minimum academic and English language proficiency requirements or higher to be considered for selection, but this does not guarantee admission.

      • completion of a bachelor degree or higher or major in a related discipline with a Weighted Average Mark (WAM) of at least 65 in third year units, or where relevant, final year units.

      2025 Honours project information

      Applicants are required to contact the Supervisors of the projects they are interested in applying for before submitting the Project Preference form.

      Allocation to research projects is a competitive process and an applicant cannot be assured of being assigned to their choice of research projects.

      English Program Requirements

      All students must be able to prove that they can meet our English language requirements. Our English language requirements are divided into five bands – from Band A through to Band E. These Bands indicate the level of English required to undertake the course, with Band E representing the highest English skill level required.

      You will be able to provide evidence of your English language skills if you have:

      • completed an English language test such as IELTS, Pearson, TOEFL or Cambridge
        • Applicants who are unable to sit standard tests due to public health concerns relating to the COVID-19 pandemic can complete an online English language test such as IELTS Indicator, OET@Home, TOEFL Special Home Edition.
      • completed some types of university (tertiary) or high-school (secondary) studies
      • completed an approved English subject in IB Diploma, Australian Year 12 or other high school qualifications
      • lived and worked in an English speaking country for at least five years.

      These requirements are different for prospective undergraduate and postgraduate students. For the most up-to-date English language requirements, please visit the English Language Admission Criteria procedure.

      Career

      Career outcomes

      The course provides four credit points of research training and four credit points of applied research project, therefore directly fostering the skills and capabilities required for progression to higher degrees by research and then to roles involving research in industry or academia. For students not wishing to pursue a research-focussed career pathway, the course equips them with research project management, problem solving, critical appraisal and high-quality communication skills to assist with employability in a range of health or other sectors.

      • Certify supporting documents

        Most documents need to be certified. For example, award certificates, academic transcripts and your identity papers (passport). Documents in languages other than English will also need to be translated. Take the original document and a photocopy to an authorised person (for example, justice of the peace, public notary, member of the police force or Australian lawyer), to sign.

        Be sure to attach all requested supporting documentation, otherwise your application could be delayed. If you get your application in early, this gives us more time to arrange visas and accommodation if you need them.

      • Submit your application

        Depending on your nationality and country of residence, you can submit your application directly to Deakin through our online international student application service StudyLink Connect or through a Deakin authorised agent.
