Overview
The Bachelor of Languages and Cultures offers students studies in languages other than English, culture and society focused on developing their intercultural and linguistic capabilities. It also offers a capstone subject that allows students to design and carry out a small-scale research project that requires them to apply their linguistic skills and cultural knowledge.
The combined Bachelor of Sport and Exercise Management Bachelor of Languages and Cultures provides students with intercultural and linguistic skills that raise their awareness of the international implications of the Bachelor of Sport and Exercise Management. This course develops graduates who possess a sound knowledge of the biophysical, behavioural and sociocultural foundations of sport and exercise, combined with the management skills and knowledge increasingly necessary in sport and exercise professions. Students develop an understanding and awareness of a language other than English languages and another culture and refine their intercultural skills. Students also develop their professional skills in writing, research and evaluation.
This course contains a mix of sport and exercise science and business subjects. As the sport and exercise industry has undergone a period of substantial growth, the need for sport and exercise professionals with management skills and qualifications has become increasingly important. Graduates are equipped with the professional knowledge and skills to operate in one of Australia's most dynamic industries. Students who complete this course with the required electives and grade point average also meet current entry criteria for the UTS Master of Physiotherapy (C04306).
