Bachelor Of Sport And Recreation in Nelson Marlborough Institute of Technology

This degree programme is offered by AUT at the Nelson Campus and is available to graduates of the Diploma in Applied Fitness and the new New Zealand Diplomas in Sport, Recreation and Exercise.

After completing the NZ Diploma in Sport Recreation and Exercise (Level 5 and 6) graduates are able to transfer into the BSR programme.

The courses that make up this programme are all relevant and applied so you are constantly learning information you can apply to your work on graduation. The degree does not contain specialisation, however in your third year you will complete a big project that reflects the area of sports and recreation you are interested in. Class sizes are small providing more contact with your tutors than at larger institutions and you will make good friends with your class mates.

Great facilities

The exercise science and physiology lab has the most up to date equipment in the Top of the South Island and as a fitness student you have your own gym onsite. You will also use facilities such as Saxton running track, Results Gym, local pools and squash courts to experience health and fitness in the community.
