This programme focuses on the study of sport policy and management practices associated with the efficient and effective delivery of sport and recreation services. Throughout the programme the underlying focus is on understanding factors that maintain competitive business advantage and deliver effective sport services. The taught programme has been designed to produce a balanced sports management education experience.
Students are encouraged to consider the broader professional skills associated with the application of concepts and theoretical frameworks, as well as exploring the policy and management issues pertinent to the course. For students pursuing masters-level work this is extended to the ability to plan, conduct, analyse and disseminate their own sports management research following the established principles of rigorous sociological and management study.
Learning Outcomes This programme will enable students to:
* examine critically key issues and social trends affecting participation and involvement in sport and recreation;
* identify and evaluate recent changes in sport and recreation policies and management practices;
* apply theory to the contexts of managing sport and recreation organisations.
