Students also undertake practical and performance studies as well as required subjects in health, psychology, sociology and applied recreation. In addition, an elective strand of 4 subjects is available to enable an area of interest such as sports psychology, sports media, education or business management to be developed. This component of the course is a combination of practical performance and industrial based fieldwork. Individual performance competence is expected in the practical areas of dance, gymnastics, aquatics, outdoor recreation, team and lifetime sports. Fieldwork experience will be achieved through placement in a variety of agencies such as sports camps, vacation recreation centres, coaching programs, health and fitness clubs and community service facilities.
Entry is competitive and merit based.
Students are advised to contact the Course Coordinator if they have any questions regarding aspects of the course.
