奧塔哥大學

The Bachelor of Arts (BA) is Otago's most flexible undergraduate degree programme, enabling students to study from a selection of more than 40 arts and social science subjects, as well as papers offered elsewhere in the University. Academic breadth is complemented by in-depth knowledge gained through majoring in one or two subjects with the option of minors in one or two others.

Students are taught by research-active scholars, are expected to undertake a diverse range of learning tasks and are challenged to develop their intellectual independence. Graduates of the programme are well-informed, versatile, independent thinkers with the information literacy, communication, research and interpersonal skills necessary for a career or further academic study. The completed BA is an entry qualification for the PGDipArts in the major subject of the degree.

Sport Development and Management

As an internationally recognised applied discipline, the Sport Development and Management Major is founded on the global growth in sport science degrees and sport management specialisations.

It has three orientations:

• It is concerned with the quality of organisations and the societal conditions that support sport participation.
• It revolves around the enhancement of individuals and the understanding of psychological variables that help development and performance.
• It attends to sport’s growing links with community objectives such as wellness, social integration and economic renewal.
