Mission

Our mission recognises, in particular, that our students must gain the key disciplinary knowledge, practice-based skills, and generic capabilities needed to become responsible citizens who can contribute to an authentic, free, and democratic society underpinned by critical thinking.

Qualifications

The Sport Management Department offers the Diploma in Sport & Leisure Management and the Advanced Diploma in Sport & Leisure Management, along with the Master's Degree in Sport Management, which are newly developed qualifications that respond to the vibrant sports industry and the rapidly growing leisure sector, which is characterised by the continued global expansion of resorts. Our new qualifications have been reconfigured to prioritise innovation within the curricula and embrace technology. These qualifications and the Post Graduate Diploma in Sport & Leisure Management (due in 2022) include core elements of sport management, sport marketing, sport/exercise technology, leisure/recreation outcomes, and research.

The Sport Management Department is also developing additional qualifications, including a Bachelor's Degree in Sport Coaching, a Postgraduate Diploma in Sport Coaching, and a Doctorate in Sport Management.
