Additional information
To check whether your prior study would meet current ESSA Exercise Science standards, please consult the ESSA website (https://www.essa.org.au/Public/APPLY_NOW/Accreditation/Exercise_Science_Accreditation.aspx). Complete a Graduate Entry Assessment (GEA) (https://www.essa.org.au/Public/APPLY_NOW/Graduate_Entry_Assessment.aspx) and include the information that you receive back from ESSA in your application for AMEP Master of Clinical Exercise Science and Rehabilitation. Typically, a GEA is completed by students coming from a non-ESSA accredited qualification. If you are not sure if your degree is ESSA accredited or not, you should check with your university, or here at the ESSA website:https://www.essa.org.au/Public/EDUCATION_PROVIDERS/Accredited_Courses.aspx CLINICAL PLACEMENTS Work Integrated Learning (WIL) placement hours consist of a minimum of 360 hours: • SCL6104 Clinical Exercise Practice (80 hours onsite placement – Victoria University Clinical Exercise & Rehabilitation Clinic) • SCL7006 Exercise Physiology Practicum 1 (140 hours external placement) • SCL7007 Exercise Physiology Practicum 2 (140 hours external placement).
