Bachelor
This course is offered jointly by UTS: Health and UTS: International Studies. It integrates the study of sport and exercise management with a major in the language and culture of another country.
As the sport and exercise industry has undergone a period of substantial growth, the need for professionals with management skills and qualifications has become increasingly important. Graduates are equipped with the professional knowledge and skills to operate in one of Australia's most dynamic industries.
Career options include corporate health and fitness manager, events manager, exercise therapist, health and fitness consultant, sport coach, sport development officer, sport manager, sport marketing coordinator or sporting facility manager. Career options are enhanced by international experience, making students more marketable to prospective employers.
Students must complete 240 credit points of study, comprising 144 credit points relating to sport and exercise management and 96 credit points relating to international studies. Refer to the Bachelor of Sport and Exercise Management (C10301) for full details of that component of the combined degree.
In the International Studies component, students select the language they will study at the time of enrolment, and either the Language, Culture and the Professional World pathway or the Language, Culture and Global Exchange pathway.
