The Bachelor of Sport and Outdoor Recreation and Bachelor of Education double degree program is a unique, interdisciplinary degree which focuses specifically on the employment and training needs of those seeking employment in the expanding sport and outdoor recreation industries.
Opportunities exist for further study.
Practicum placements are also included. Candidates intending to qualify as secondary teachers need to be aware that their major and minor studies in sport and outdoor recreation must satisfy the requirements for the study of two teaching methods in their fourth year and the requirements for employment laid down by the Department of Education, Employment and Training and non-government authorities. Particular care must be taken in subject choice by those wishing to qualify as health and physical education teachers. Other off-campus fieldwork activities provide students, as individuals or in small groups, with opportunities to collect data, test theories, and observe phenomena relevant to all areas of education. At the completion of first year, students will be required to elect to continue in either the primary or secondary stream of the Bachelor of Education.
