As part of this learning, you will acquire knowledge of the process and conduct research in the biological and behavioural sciences as this applies to the field of Exercise Science. In addition to the learning of cognitive and research skills involved in these advanced level units, several units involve learning of advanced technical and measurement skills through tutorials and laboratories.

For the thesis component, skills in literature searching, synthesising the results of these published papers and comparing one's own data within this context are embedded.
