We'll support you to become a health and physical education teacher with classroom placement during every year of your degree. We will teach you how to teach by learning and practicing the skills you will be teaching.

Areas of study include: exercise physiology, biomechanics, motor development and learning, fundamentals and foundations of health and physical education; health and human development, nutrition, physical activity, creative movement, applied sports science, contemporary curriculum design, pedagogy and assessment for teaching and learning in health and physical education.
