Graduate
Master of High Performance Sport
Murdoch University, Perth, WA, Australia
About this program
This one-year master's degree is designed for people wanting to build expertise in supporting elite athletes. It combines applied testing and training practices with research methodology, data analysis techniques, and evidence-based decision making, preparing graduates to work with stakeholders across a range of sporting contexts. The course covers the role of practitioners in supporting athletes' health outcomes and performance, including communication skills and the application of sports science technology. High performance sport is not a standard skilled migration occupation in Australia, so this degree is a stronger fit for a defined sports-science career path than for a migration strategy. This course is delivered by Murdoch University in Western Australia.
