Master of Sport and Exercise Science by Research at University of the Sunshine Coast

The Master of Sport Management provides advanced insights into the operation of the sport industry, both in Australia and internationally. The course is designed to develop professional skills and knowledge to equip students for collaborative and leadership positions in the fast growing, increasingly complex sport sector. With this in mind, the program includes subjects that develop a critical understanding of sport management across the areas of business, globalisation, governance, marketing, media, development, technology, innovation, and social impact. Importantly, the course is designed for students from diverse backgrounds and delivered using flexible learning methods, thus making it suitable for working professionals as well as domestic and international students.

Exercise science is a growing discipline within Australia and worldwide. In this Master degree you'll develop your skills in prescribing exercise to individuals with complex and chronic conditions while developing your research skills. In your first year of study you'll learn through coursework, as well as undertaking an internship within Murdoch's Exercise Science Research program. The course culminates in a research project, in which you'll address a current issue in exercise science. This issue may range from needing to improve sports performance in elite athletes, to personalizing an exercise program aimed at improving health in individuals living with chronic conditions or diseases.
