Doctor of Philosophy [Ph.D] [Exercise and Sports Sciences] From Charles Sturt University

The Doctor of Philosophy allows students to pursue a detailed research investigation in an area of interest and present students' findings in a thesis. Students will design and implement a high-quality original research project of significance to discipline. Through this process, students will develop a thorough knowledge of scholarly debate in students' fields and the capacity to critically analyze and constructively contribute to that debate.

Programs in the Department of Health, Sport, and Exercise Sciences (HSES) offer undergraduate and graduate degrees preparing students to work in health, sport, and exercise-related fields. HSES graduates apply their knowledge to serve as teachers, researchers, clinicians, managers, administrators and other professionals in academic, private, and public settings. 

Doctoral students may pursue the Ph.D. degree with a major in Physical Education in the following specialization areas:

·    Exercise Physiology

·    Health Education & Psychology of Physical Activity
