Program Overview

Diploma of Health Sciences
The Diploma of Health Sciences can gain you direct entry into second year of Deakin University bachelor degrees in Exercise and Sports Science, Health Sciences, Nutrition Science, Psychological Science, Public Health and Health Promotion, and Biomedical Science. This Diploma will give you a comprehensive understanding of the health of individuals, communities and populations, so that you are prepared to enter a wide variety of undergraduate courses.


Leading to: Bachelor of Exercise and Sport Science
The course provides an accredited pathway for you to be eligible to join Exercise and Sports Science Australia (ESSA) and practice as an Accredited Exercise Scientist. You will learn how to apply knowledge and skills in exercise and sport science to improve the performance, health and participation of individuals, athletes and teams.

Develop the skills to become a professional leader in exercise and sport science and allied fields, with a focus on the biological, sociological and behavioural bases of exercise and sport science. Learn in world-class facilities at our Elite Sports Precinct in Geelong or our Specialised Indoor Exercise and Sport Science building in Burwood. The course includes 220 hours of practical experience – more than any comparable accredited program in Victoria – meaning you'll graduate job-ready with an advantage.


Major: Disability and Inclusion
Completion of this major will equip students with skills to be an inclusion professional, working to overcome the social and structural barriers that contribute to disability. Students can apply these skills alongside those of other majors and disciplines, including skills in inclusive communication strategies, inclusive services, advocacy and human rights.
