Bachelor of Business Recreation and Leisure Management

The programme prepares students to work in the business, sports and leisure sector of the economy and provides them with the specialist skills and competencies needed in these industries. The leisure industry is one of the fastest growing sectors of the economy. This has created a demand for personnel with specialist knowledge and skills in recreation and leisure. This programme combines such skills and competencies with a strong business base, while offering students the opportunity to acquire appropriate practical and managerial expertise, which will enable them to be effective managers in the recreation and leisure industry. There is a mandatory supervised work placement of five weeks in year 3 (e.g. leisure centres, adapted physical activity centres and sports coaching settings).
