La Trobe: Sport and Recreation Management Degree

Learn how to manage and deliver community-based sport and recreation services and programs.

Commencing this year, La Trobe has introduced the new Bachelor of Sport and Recreation Management, a 3-year degree being offered at the Melbourne Campus in Bundoora.  The focus of the degree is to equip students with skills and knowledge on how to provide a range of experiences and community events that drive physical activity, community development and general wellbeing outcomes for individuals and communities. 

Students will develop an understanding of sport and recreation management and policy, needs assessment and evaluation, planning and programming, service delivery, community engagement and how to work with volunteers.  75% of the course is based on core subjects, with the remaining 25% based on a range of electives from university-wide electives,  or electives from other interest areas or disciplines. 

Students will also complete 200 hours of industry placement with leading sports and recreation organisations, and gain leadership skills through hands-on learning and industry connections.

The VCE entry requirements are Units 3 and 4: a study score of at least 25 in English (EAL) or at least 20 in English other than EAL, as well as an ATAR.
