For Universities

Building courses of excellence in exercise and sports science.

The National University Course Accreditation Program (NUCAP) provides universities with a framework to build courses of excellence in exercise and sports science, while aligning graduates with industry knowledge and requirements.

NUCAP-Universities

Full Accreditation

Graduates from NUCAP accredited courses

Graduates from NUCAP accredited courses have two years following completion of their studies to apply for either full membership of ESSA or exercise physiology accreditation (as relevant to the accredited status applied to the course from which the student has graduated) in order to be eligible for recognised ESSA membership or accreditation (upon application). After two years, applicants may need to satisfy additional criteria.
