Programme summary

Do you aspire to teach or lead others in a sport or physical education setting? Turn your passion for sport into a rewarding career leading young people through physical education.

Turn your passion for sport and physical education into a career. Find out how to lead others in sport and physical education, and prepare for a rewarding role in this lively and people-oriented industry. Learn the fundamentals of coaching, sport management and sport science, and explore exercise prescription, health education, biomechanics, skill acquisition, coaching pedagogy, physical education principles and concepts, adapted programmes in physical activity, and outdoor education. You also choose from a range of electives.

Highlights

• A broad range of sport and physical education courses.
• A mix of theory and practice: lectures are combined with practical sessions, outdoor activities, interactive discussions and industry experiences.
• A pathway to a career in teaching physical education at primary or secondary school level. Please note: in order to become a PE teacher, you need to undertake a one-year graduate diploma of teaching once you’ve completed this degree.
• Time to explore your interests: the first year is the same for all three Bachelor of Sport majors, and you don’t need to select a major until after your first year of study.
• Excellent sport facilities at Unitec’s Mt Albert campus.
