The undergraduate programme in Recreation prepares physical activity specialists and recreation leaders to contribute to individuals’ physical, mental and emotional health through physical activity. The programme aims to develop professionals who are responsive to public health needs, embrace a healthy and physically active lifestyle, demonstrate professional competence, pursue continuous self-development, adopt scientific thinking, respect individual and cultural differences, and think creatively and critically.

To this end, the programme offers an education informed by scientific research and grounded in professional practice through theoretical and practical courses, professional and academic projects, and work experience courses. Students graduate with two specialisation certificates by completing the compulsory Fitness Specialisation course and at least one elective specialisation course in aerobics, skiing, swimming, tennis, table tennis or badminton.

Academic activities, research and postgraduate education are also conducted within the department’s three academic divisions: Nutrition and Metabolism in Exercise, Physical Activity and Health, and Social Sciences in Sport.
