Program overview
Combine your passion for health and exercise with an in-depth understanding of how the body responds to changes in movement and lifestyle through Bond's Bachelor of Clinical Exercise Physiology (pending ESSA accreditation)*.
You will explore the science of human movement as it applies to improving health, preventing disease, maximising athletic performance and supporting people living with chronic and complex medical conditions.
You will dive into anatomy, clinical exercise physiology, exercise prescription, behaviour change, pathophysiology, biomechanics, and digital health, building a strong foundation in exercise science before progressing into advanced clinical skills.
You will learn how to assess clients with a range of clinical conditions, design and deliver safe and effective exercise interventions, provide lifestyle counselling and work collaboratively with other allied health professionals in multidisciplinary teams to maximise client health outcomes.
Across your degree, you will complete 500 hours of placement in a wide range of settings including community, rehabilitation, sport and private practice environments. This hands-on experience prepares you to graduate as a confident, work-ready exercise physiologist and exercise scientist.
You can complete this program in just 2 years and 5 months, making it Australia's fastest undergraduate pathway to becoming an exercise physiologist. Upon graduation this program delivers a breadth of employment opportunities and also a strong foundation for further postgraduate studies, including physiotherapy and occupational therapy.

About this program
The Bachelor of Clinical Exercise Physiology at Bond University is designed to equip you with the knowledge, practical skills, and professional mindset needed for future practice in exercise science and exercise physiology. Qualifying accreditation for this program is currently being considered by the accrediting body, Exercise and Sports Science Australia.
You will learn in Bond’s signature personalised environment, with small class sizes that maximise your access to expert academics and strengthen your professional connections. Throughout your studies, you will engage in extensive hands-on experiences in our world-class facilities, including opportunities to work with both simulated and real clients. These learning experiences are designed to help you develop the capability to assess, design, and deliver evidence-informed exercise interventions across a wide range of ages, abilities, and health needs.
The program begins with a strong scientific and theoretical foundation before progressively advancing into the application of exercise for health, wellbeing, and the management of chronic and complex conditions. This structured learning pathway supports your development as a confident, work-ready graduate prepared for diverse roles in the exercise and health sector.
This degree has been designed to align with the requirements for dual professional accreditation in Australia, pending the completion of all relevant accreditation processes. While accreditation outcomes cannot be guaranteed, the program is structured to equip graduates with the knowledge and skills that support future professional recognition.
Program features
*ESSA professional accreditation status
The Bachelor of Clinical Exercise Physiology (BCEP) is not currently accredited by ESSA. Bond University has applied to ESSA for qualifying accreditation of the BCEP and anticipates that qualifying accreditation may be awarded by ESSA in late 2026. Qualifying accreditation must be obtained before Bond University can apply to ESSA for provisional, then full accreditation of the BCEP.
Subject to obtaining qualifying accreditation, Bond University intends to apply for provisional, then full accreditation in accordance with ESSA's accreditation application process. ESSA may then grant provisional accreditation for a period of up to two years, prior to granting full accreditation of the BCEP.
Bond University is hopeful that provisional accreditation will be granted before the first cohort of students graduate, but this cannot be guaranteed.
If Bond University obtains provisional or full accreditation of the BCEP by ESSA, graduates will be eligible to apply for recognition as an Accredited Exercise Physiologist and an Accredited Exercise Scientist with ESSA via the accredited-course pathway (subject to meeting other ESSA eligibility requirements).
Bond University will keep students updated on the ESSA accreditation status of the BCEP.
