Overview
Sports Studies is available as a subject of study for the Certificate in Fitness Management (CertFitMgt), the Certificate in Sports Studies (CertSptSt) and the Diploma in Sports Studies (DipSptSt).
The Diploma in Sports Studies (DipSptSt) and the Certificate in Fitness Management (CertFitMgt) provide a programme of tertiary study for people who wish to undertake formal (part-time or full-time) distance learning in sports and physical activity.
The Diploma in Sports Studies (DipSptSt) provides a basic grounding in general sports studies and can be undertaken by those entering the field or as a refresher course for teachers, coaches, and sports administrators.
The Certificate in Fitness Management (CertFitMgt) has particular vocational value for practitioners in the fitness industry.
Taught by staff from the University of Otago, both the Certificate and the Diploma are recognised University qualifications. It is expected that those who enrol in either course will come from three groups:
(a) those with university qualifications;
(b) those with non-university tertiary qualifications such as physiotherapy, nursing, and sports science; and
(c) those without any qualification, but with experience or interest in the sports or fitness industry.
