Abstract
Purpose
The aim of this project is to determine students’ perception of EXSS undergraduate curriculum in Australia, including comparisons between career intention, year level, and graduation status.
Results
The top five rated units for importance identified (in order) were Exercise Prescription and Delivery; Functional Anatomy; Practicum/placement; Exercise Physiology, and; Advanced Exercise Prescription and Delivery, with the health/clinical-focussed career group rating some units higher than sport-focussed.
Major conclusions
These findings have important implications for leaders of Australian EXSS programs, and programs worldwide, in how they refine course content to engage and retain students.
