Diploma in Exercise Science

The Diploma in Exercise Science is an important stepping-stone toward achieving your career and study goals, whether you have just finished Year 12 or finished years ago.

The diploma is a one year (full-time) course that mirrors the learning found in the first year of the Bachelor of Exercise Science with the addition of a transition unit to help build study skills and equip you with industry relevant knowledge.

Students who undertake a Diploma in Exercise Science will be able to gain credit for up to the first year of study and articulate into the second year of a range of exercise science degrees, or a number of other related bachelor degrees at ACU. The Diploma in Exercise Science is also a standalone qualification.

Our Diploma in Exercise Science provides domestic students with a Commonwealth supported place (CSP-funded), and will help you achieve your goals.

We are here to support you from start to finish. We ensure smaller class sizes, offer tailored support as you transition to university study, and provide a range of student services to help you succeed. This approach is aimed at allowing a wider range of students to have a positive and successful transition to university study as well as facilitating our students to create a more immediate and broad impact in the fields of exercise and sport.

ACU strongly encourages students to be fully vaccinated. With our industry and community placement partners requiring vaccination, and with public health orders regularly changing - students can avoid interruption to their studies, placement and graduation requirements by becoming fully vaccinated.
