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.
You will graduate with a formal standalone qualification on successful completion of the specified 8 units plus gain credit for first year entry to to a range of exercise science degrees and potentially other discipline bachelor degrees, allowing you to transition straight into second year with credit.
