Overview

Bachelor of Sport and Recreation Management at The University of Notre Dame Australia is designed to give you the skills to manage recreation and sporting organisations and staff, and to adapt and thrive in environments of rapid and pervasive economic, social and technological change. 

Along the way you will also learn how to manage an individual sporting and recreational agendas and, more broadly, how to oversee the community’s sport and recreational facilities and resources.

As part of our commitment to the delivery of ethical and practical knowledge, students are required to complete six industry practicum/internship courses totalling 350 hours over the span of their degree. 

This provides students with valuable insights into sport and recreation industries, an opportunity for skills development and a chance to build networks within the industry. 

Upon graduation, you will have the skills necessary for a management position in the sport and recreation sector - initially at the operational level and progressing through to senior management positions. 

This means you have the opportunity to work in any number of industries and areas including player and recreation centre management, professional sporting clubs, sporting and recreation associations, and various government departments dealing with health and recreation.
