National University Course Accreditation Program (NUCAP)

ESSA has developed the National University Course Accreditation Program – NUCAP – as a programme for the accreditation of Australian university courses in exercise and sports science to ensure that courses meet the requirements of current professional practice.

The primary objective of NUCAP is to provide academic units with a framework to build courses of excellence in exercise and sports science.

NUCAP offers two levels of accreditation: exercise science and exercise physiology.
