INTRODUCTION
The Master of Sport Management is designed as a tertiary qualification for professionals working in the sport and recreation industries, or those new to the field, who wish to further their knowledge and understanding of the unique aspects of the sporting environment. It provides graduates with the essential knowledge, competencies and professional attitudes required by middle and senior levels of the sport and recreation industries. In this strong-industry based course, students are introduced to the academic study of sport management which focuses upon the global delivery systems of sport, the management of people in sporting organisations, the management of sport venues and events and sport marketing, as well as the key aspects of policy development, research methods, business planning and the legal obligations and requirements of sport organisations. The course also provides students with the opportunity to further specialise in various fields (such as event management, marketing, management, human resource management, project management, public relations and leadership) to give their studies a stronger focus in that area. Students may fast-track this course and complete in 1 1/2 years.
