This course is part of an articulated program of study. Articulated programs allow you to build on your study to achieve the right level of qualification for you.
Applicants must also meet English language requirements. This requires a minimum overall academic IELT score of 7 with no score below a 7 in each of the individual skill areas (listening, reading, writing and speaking) or other qualification with scores deemed equivalent.
For each 8-point subject you are enrolled in, you should expect to spend 10 to 12 hours per week working on assignments and assigned readings, tutorial assistance, individual or group research/study, forum activity, workplace learning, and attending lectures, intensive schools, or examinations. If you are studying four subjects per session, this is equivalent to a full-time job. The workload for some subjects may vary as a result of approved course design.
You may need to attend an online or on-campus intensive school for certain subjects in this course. These schools usually involve lectures, tutorials and practicals that will give you a deeper understanding of your subject.
The course consists of fifteen core subjects and an Exercise and Sport Science non-major sequence of eight compulsory subjects, or a Sport Media major, and one unrestricted elective
