The Bachelor of Sport Studies at UNE is a multidisciplinary program that develops a comprehensive understanding of the academic and applied aspects of sport, health and fitness. The flexible program includes studies in human biology, physiology, biomechanics, fitness training, sport psychology, sociology, history, politics, philosophy and policy developments of sport, and sports coaching. Building on a foundation of core units in Year 1, the structure of the course enables students from their second year to commence a specialist major, dependent upon their career goals, in one of 2 distinct strands - Physical Education or Sports Management. Alternatively as part of our flexible teaching program students can elect not to specialise but to follow the general program by selecting the required number of units from the listed units in the program of study.
The Physical Education major includes 3 units of health education / studies and 3 units of physical education and will enable graduates to enrol in a postgraduate initial teacher education course. Following a postgraduate qualification in PDHPE graduates will then be able to seek employment as secondary physical education teachers.
The Sports Management major provides the fundamental knowledge required in the discipline of management, with each unit in the major having a sports specific component and is designed to equip graduates for employment or postgraduate study in Sports Management.
To be eligible to be considered for a course you must:
• meet the admission requirements of the institution offering the course and
• meet the entrance requirements of the course – some courses have course prerequisites or additional selection criteria.
• Our institutions may also take other criteria into account when they assess your application. These may include a portfolio, interview, audition, questionnaire or a test for certain courses either instead of, or together with, the ATAR.
