Notes:
(1) Classes will be held in Tai Po Campus and Tseung Kwan O Study Centre / North Point Study Centre / Sports Centre / Kowloon Tong Satellite Study Centre as decided by the University.
(2) Students admitted into this programme are required to visit the Greater Bay Area (GBA) and/or other parts of Mainland China. The programme may also require students to participate in other non-local learning experience for completion of the programme. While the visits are subsidised, students are required to contribute part of the estimated cost of the visits ("students’ contribution"), whereas any personal entertainment, meals expenses, travel document fee and personal insurance costs shall be at students’ own expense. The estimated cost of the visits and students’ contribution for students admitted to the coming cohort is yet to be available due to a variety of factors such as inflation of cost of the visits, trip duration, traveling expenses, the exchange rate, etc.
Internship / Overseas Study Opportunities
The Internship is a 3-credit-point compulsory experiential and professional learning component of the programme. Students will work as an intern in an organisation in Hong Kong, the Greater Bay Area, or overseas in the field(s) of sports science and/or coaching. Through this valuable opportunity, students can dialogue with sports leaders, build connections, understand the operations of an organisation, enrich knowledge and skills, and lay a good foundation for future careers.
Career Prospects / Professional Recognition
Students are prepared for a wide range of careers in the sports industries, including the commercial sector (e.g. sports coach, sports and recreation officer, personal trainer, sports event manager, sports marketing consultant, etc.) and public sector (e.g. LCSD assistant leisure services manager, sports science officer, strength and conditioning coach, camp manager, etc.). Graduates may choose to pursue a teaching career by completing an additional year of professional teacher training (e.g. Postgraduate Diploma of Education (Physical Education)) or undertake further studies locally (e.g. Master of Social Sciences in Sports Coaching and Management offered by the EdUHK) or overseas.
What Our Student Says
I have learned so much about sports science and coaching philosophies. This knowledge helps me develop my own unique coaching style for my future career.
In addition to my studies, I have also joined a number of U-teams and it has been amazing! I made many new friends and had the opportunities to try out different sports. This not only helped me discover more about myself and my passion, but also enhanced my communication and interpersonal skills, which would surely be beneficial for career development.

I am grateful for the unwavering support and care I have received from my teachers and classmates across different faculties. The university's flexible class arrangement and support from my peers allowed me to focus on my competitions and achieve dual development in both my studies and sports career. Finally, I am thrilled to announce that I have won a gold medal in the “Line Throw (Female Youth)” in the Lifesaving World Championships 2022, thereby bringing glory to Hong Kong. My heartfelt thanks to EdUHK for the unconditional support!
