Course overview
The Bachelor of Youth Work/Bachelor of Sport Management prepares students to make a positive difference in the lives of young people and to develop the knowledge and skills they need for a rewarding career as a Youth Worker and sport management professional. Youth Workers seek to promote young people’s rights and development through informal education, often using sport, recreation, and adventure as tools. This double degree reflects the growing demand for professionals skilled in both youth work and sport management. Students will gain specialist knowledge to support diverse and disadvantaged communities, build social connections, and empower youth to have a voice and place in society. They will learn from industry professionals and explore the structures and practices of both sectors. With substantial work placements, students build practical management and leadership skills, preparing them for impactful and diverse career and become an expert in roles where sport and youth meet.
