Programme
Structure of the
BSc (Honours) Sport & Recreation Management
Each
year of the degree programme consists of 120 credits.
In years one and two the student will be required
to complete 120 credit worth of courses, 80 of which
are core courses, and a further 40 credits from a
range of options. These choices may be within the
College of Humanities and Social Science depending
on the interest of the student and logistical availability.
In the third year, the students will undertake 100
credits of core courses and 20 credits from a range
of options.
In the Honours fourth year, students undertake a core
programme in sports and recreation management, including
a dissertation. An additional 40 credits is chosen
from the available options. It may not be possible
to offer all optional choices every year.
The programme incorporates two possible exit points
one year apart. A Degree is awarded after successful
completion of three years of study (360 credits);
an Honours degree is awarded after successful completion
of 4 years of study (480 credits). To continue at
Honours level it is recommended that students attain
an average mark of at least 50%, in the third year.
The Honours award recognises the students' ability
to demonstrate synthesis of knowledge and academic
skills developed throughout the award.
