Introduction
A double degree in Sport Coaching and Information Technology provides professional preparation for people seeking a career in sports analytics, sport science and information technology. Students will develop a broad range of technical, analytical and communication skills to address the needs of modern sport technology. Students will learn how to make effective use of computer systems and information technology in sport and explore the methods of designing and developing new technology and systems to analyse sport performance.
Graduates can expect to find employment as a sport scientist in Commonwealth and State Government Departments of Sport and Recreation. The combination of Sport Coaching and Exercise Science and Information Technology provides a wide range of employment opportunities in the public and private sector, especially in the development of new technologies in sport. Graduates will be qualified to apply for specialised postgraduate courses in sport and information science at the University of Canberra.
Learning outcomes of the course:
- academic training for employment in the coalface delivery of sport and information systems;
- academic training for academic pathways into masters programs;
- eligibility for membership to the Australian Association for Exercise and Sport Science.
