Bachelor of Youth Work/Bachelor of Sport Management

The aim of this course is to produce competent youth workers and sport management professionals who have practical management and leadership skills. Youth work helps young people learn about themselves, others and society, through informal educational activities which combine enjoyment, challenge and learning. Youth work seeks to promote young people's personal and social development and enable them to have a voice, influence and place in their communities and society as a whole. Commonly one of the key tools that is utilised in this work is recreation and adventure programs. The double degree therefore has an important synergy that mirrors community demand for professionals with this range of skills.

The course provides students with an understanding of working with young people in community and sport recreation settings while also equipping them with a sound knowledge of the structure and practices of the Australian sport and management industry.
