Bachelor of Sport and Exercise Management Bachelor of International Studies

The Bachelor of Sport and Exercise Management Bachelor of International Studies at the University of Technology Sydney is a comprehensive double degree designed for students aspiring to work at the intersection of sport, exercise science, and global business. The programme covers a wide array of areas, including sports marketing, facility management, athlete welfare, event coordination, and international relations, alongside critical language and cultural studies relevant to global business environments. Students will gain significant knowledge in the administration and management of sport organisations, as well as the skills to operate in culturally diverse contexts across borders.

Within this five-year double degree, students undertake two distinct streams of study structured typically over ten semesters of full-time study. Each year is comprised of multiple units of study, with each unit assigned a set number of credit points contributing towards the completion of the degree as per Australian higher education standards. The Sport and Exercise Management component includes units focused on business skills, management, and practical aspects of sports and exercise industries. The International Studies component enhances cross-cultural communication and critical global perspectives, and includes an in-country study experience, allowing students to immerse themselves in another culture and language. Throughout the degree, work-integrated learning opportunities and placements are available, providing real-world exposure within Australia's dynamic sport and exercise sector.

Skills gained include event and facility management, sport marketing, athlete and organisation management, language proficiency, intercultural communication, negotiation, and problem-solving. The degree culminates in a capstone project or industry experience, integrating theory and practice while building professional readiness. This programme suits students passionate about sport, management, global engagement, and cultural diversity, as well as those keen to work in sport administration with an international focus.

Graduates are eligible for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) under the post-study work stream, enabling them to gain professional experience in Australia after completion of their studies. International students can also work up to 48 hours per fortnight during study periods. Those considering application should confirm entry requirements and course specifics directly on the official UTS or CRICOS websites.
