The Bachelor of Science (BSc) is a three-year undergraduate degree which enables each student to develop his or her own interests in a science subject (science major) and related subjects. Students have the flexibility to combine their major subject with other science subjects, as well as subjects from other disciplines across the University.

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.

Papers examine the spectrum of people, institutions and policies that influence the structure, management and experience of sport.
