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.
