Program Description

Apply the Science. Become the Coach. Lead the Field! Australia is experiencing a growing demand for professionals who can work with athletes to optimise their performance whilst being able to withstand the rigors of their sport. Alongside helping them realise their athletic potential, athletes need assistance in reducing the risk of injuries and preparing them to be able to withstand training loads. And it’s you, in your future career that can help them achieve this.

Designed for professionals looking to progress their career in the sports science industry, the online Master of Strength and Conditioning aims to increase your specialist knowledge, while opening doors to a higher level of responsibility and professional accreditation.

The applied nature of this course will provide you with the skills required to design and implement customised training programmes to enhance athletic performance, health and wellbeing. You’ll learn the core building blocks of knowledge around training modalities, planning and monitoring, youth development and coach communication, while also gaining coaching experience. You’ll also gain the confidence to create your own career path with a range of electives.

Benefit from real world experience through our professional placement unit, where you will gain valuable, hands-on experience in a high performance or professional sport setting.

Ideal for busy professionals, our online delivery allows you to work while you study and complete your degree in just one year. The degree culminates in a two-week, face-to-face residential workshop delivered on-campus, where you’ll bring all components of your online learning together, overseen by elite level coaches and industry professionals.
