Sport and leisure
What’s on offer for postgraduates?
Postgraduate coursework programs in sport and leisure might offer those already working or practising the chance to advance their skills, or they might be designed to help graduates of related fields into new occupations or specialisations.
While there are plenty of coursework programs, the number of research students in sport and leisure has grown to form the majority. If you are among those contemplating research work in the area, you should consider a number of factors when choosing a program and department. Remember that universities with a reputation for top research overall will not necessarily be the best performers in this particular field.
Another thing to consider is this: postgraduate research and coursework in sport and leisure is likely to involve field projects and clinical work, so make sure you will have the benefit of
appropriate industry links and up-to-date facilities.
