This programme equips students with the knowledge, attitudes and skills which are essential for a successful career in sport management. The programme also provides the opportunity for the students to fully realise their potential in the one sport in which they chose to specialise. Students are required to belong to a club of their specialist sport, approved by the Human Movement Science department, and to involve themselves in the administration of the club. Apart from the academic programme, students are expected to attend special courses and excursions and involve themselves in projects that are arranged for their benefit. These activities are not necessarily accommodated in the academic fee structure.

This programme allows students to specialise in one of four different areas of human movement science, and to complement this with additional subjects such as business management, psychology or physiology, to suit their career plans. The four specialisation areas are: • Exercise science • Recreation • Sport management • Coaching science
