Bachelor of Arts Honours in Sport and Recreation Management
Culture and Arts - Sport
Purpose and Rationale
The Sport and Recreation Management qualification aims to provide learners with interdisciplinary knowledge and practical competence to manage sport and recreation activities for the broader community and top-level sports persons. The courses focus on developing a comprehensive understanding of management disciplines within Economic and Management Sciences, while also exploring relevant human movement studies. This Honours qualification stands out from similar courses at other South African tertiary institutions due to its comprehensive, interdisciplinary nature.
A key aspect of this university qualification is the recognition that certain aspects of recreation are distinct from sport, leading to equal emphasis on managing both. The curriculum addresses the roles and functions of managers in grassroots and elite-level sport, as well as in physical and non-physical forms of recreation.
The introduction of the Sport and Recreation Management qualification at the university fills a gap, as no other tertiary institution currently offers training and development opportunities in this field.
