Comprehensive academic programmes within the different spheres of sport is what defined and made the Human Movement Science Department become well-known and stand out in the Faculty of Health Sciences at the Nelson Mandela University since its inception.
Raging from biokinetics to sport management, our programmes give practical and applied knowledge as well as provide numerous career opportunities.
Our Department offers both diploma and degree courses at the undergraduate level as well as honours, masters and doctorate courses for postgraduate studies.
Every year, over 100 undergraduate students choose to undertake modules within the Human Movement Science & Sport Management department and these modules include sports management, sports marketing, anatomy, sport psychology and exercise science. Modules are taught by academic staff that have specialized knowledge in their different areas of interest.
Our small student intake allows more supportive interaction between the lecturer and the student. Students are encouraged to participate in class and extramural activities in order to fully understand the study material. The well-structured programmes offered in our Diploma in Sport Management course has made it one of the most popular undergraduate diploma courses while postgraduate biokinetics interns have the opportunity to work within our Nelson Mandela University Biokinetics and Sport Science Centre, an accredited biokinetics training institute.
