Overview

Bachelor of Health and Physical Education

Health and Physical Education teachers educate and promote a range of movement areas, including games and sports, dance, gymnastics, aquatics and athletics. 

They also promote healthy lifestyle issues in schools to encourage lifelong movement, healthy behaviours associated with drugs, good nutrition, self-esteem development, knowledge about sexual health and interpersonal skills.

This four-year degree at UOW gives you expert theory and professional experience for employment as a Health and Physical Education teacher. 

You may also gain employment in other educational environments, with roles such as Game Development Officers and coaching in sports or active after-school care programs. 

You will complete extensive professional experience throughout your degree, which allows you to learn by observation and apply your skills in the classroom. 

This includes Professional Experience (PEX) in the second and third years, with a final seven-week PEX/Internship in the fourth year. 

You will also have opportunities for rural and international professional experiences, to study overseas with UOW's international exchange and study abroad partners, and to join international cultural immersion programs.

You can also apply for the Honours program, embedded in the third/fourth year, and involves a research project under academic supervision. 

Entry to honours is based on application and merit.

This is a popular course undertaken by Global Sports Program students.
