About the course
Graduates will build on the interdisciplinary approach to the study of sport and exercise to a higher level than a BSpEx graduate. They will have the specialised knowledge and practical skills of their majoring area: sport management, sport coaching, exercise science, exercise prescription and training, or physical education. More generically, they can critically evaluate and apply theories in diverse sport and exercise contexts, particularly those that encourage cross-disciplinary and inter-sectoral collaboration. They will have a good grasp of the key underlying principles of the several facets of sport and exercise and be able to implement and adapt these principles within a rapidly-changing professional environment.
Entry requirements
The Postgraduate Diploma is available to students entering from the Bachelors degree who do not have the appropriate grade average for entry to the Honours or Masters programme, or who do not wish to commit to the Masters programme, or who wish to pursue a taught qualification for workplace advancement, and who have completed a Bachelor of Sport and Exercise or equivalent sport-related degree with at least an overall B- grade average.
