Graduate Diploma in Sport and Exercise (Level 7)

This programme aims to develop a broad theoretical knowledge in the fields of sport and exercise and a holistic understanding of sport and exercise and its importance to the community. It recognises the significance of the Treaty of Waitangi to the New Zealand people and raises awareness of the implications of the treaty with respect to community and resource management in the fields of sport and exercise. Students will develop a range of practical expertise in the sport and exercise industry by developing a close working relationship with various organisations.

The Graduate Diploma in Sport and Exercise will naturally sit alongside the Bachelor of Sport and Exercise programme to give opportunity for study in this discipline to those degree-level graduates from a relevant background, or those already working in the Sport and Recreation industries.

Knowledge in anatomy and nutrition is a prerequisite to course entry.
