PROGRAMME DESCRIPTION

The Programme will facilitate the study of sports science by focusing on the provision and practice of sports in modern societies. It will provide a sound theoretical background to enrich students’ knowledge base and enable them to apply this knowledge to their specific sports setting. The programme is designed to cater for the specific needs of sports administrators or sports coaches. Those interested in sports administration, management and promotion will focus on courses that provide a sound theoretical background to enrich their knowledge base and enable them to apply this knowledge to their specific sports setting. Those students who are sports coaches will be able to select from a range of courses that will enrich their knowledge base in coaching theory and practice. Elective courses will enable them to enrich their knowledge in Sports Physiology, Sports and Exercise Psychology/Motor Behaviour and Sports Biomechanics in addition to strategic planning for sports development. Both strands will provide students with an opportunity to engage in sports research or an in-service sports project.
