The degree prepares graduates for employment in various leisure industry sectors including event management; venue and facility management; sport management; recreation planning and management; tourism management and natural resource management.

Admission requirements

Admission to the Bachelor of Management in Leisure is available to students who have completed their secondary education in NSW and gained the Higher School Certificate, or the equivalent qualification from another State or country, and mature-age persons where preference will be given to people with vocational experience or tertiary study in leisure or a related field.

Advanced standing

An applicant who presents qualifications additional to those required for admission may be granted advanced standing. It is anticipated that applications for advanced standing will come from the following sources:

1. students who have completed appropriate TAFE qualifications (either at TAFE NSW or at an interstate institution)

3. students who have been employed in the leisure field either in a formal capacity or by way of voluntary endeavour for a substantial period of time.

Applications for advanced standing are considered individually on their merits and students are expected to provide supporting documentation. The granting of credit depends upon the degree of similarity to the nominated UTS equivalent subjects, the level at which the subject was completed, and the length of time elapsed since completion of the subject or attainment of experience.
