Exercise has become a key element in the treatment of cancer patients, with ECU researchers leading the way through our Exercise Medicine Research Institute. These courses provide you with specialised knowledge and skills for using exercise in the management of the growing population of cancer patients and survivors.
As an ECU undergraduate, you can expect the best overall student experience of any of the 38 public universities in Australia. More about QILT.
ECU is one of the best unis in Australia for teaching. We've had 17 straight years of 5-star ratings in the Good Universities Guide to prove it!
We're ranked one of the world's best universities under 50 years old, and we've already established a global reputation for such a young institution.
These courses provide specialised knowledge and skills in the principles of health and fitness testing, exercise prescription development and program implementation, as well as understanding current best clinical practice in exercise medicine for cancer patients and survivors.
Our future student events include a mix of on-campus and online sessions designed to help you decide what to study at ECU.

I wanted to work with the best
I decided to study at ECU for two reasons. Firstly, I wanted to move to a new country as I felt the only way to learn more was to get out of my comfort zone. And secondly, I moved here because of my supervisors. They are leading researchers in the exercise oncology field and I wanted to work with the best.
A highlight for me so far has been presenting at the Asia-Pacific Prostate Cancer Conference during the first year of my PhD.
In the future, I hope to stay within the university circles and share my wealth of information with young students to build a strong foundation for their careers.
I was excited to study under the world-renowned professors in ECU's Exercise Medicine Research Institute
