The aim of our Department is not to nurture professional athletes, but it emphasizes the applicationof different exercise science principles and knowledgeto the teaching profession.However,applicantsinterests and experience in physical activities are alsovery important. Thus, our Department will consider an applicant’s academic results as well as his/her interestand participation in sports when assessing whether he/she is suitable for our Programme.

Applicants need to attend both an interview and skills proficiency test.

Our Department has not set the ratio of male : female students admitted to our Programmer. In determining the admission of students, we will comprehensively consider their academic results, past sports participation and experience, interview performance and skill proficiency test results.

Most of our graduates become physical education teachers in primary and secondary schools or higher education institutions. Some of them serve as administrators in national sports associations or executives in fitness and leisure industries. In addition, some graduates continue to pursue their master and doctoral degrees, related to physical education, exercise science and health, in both local and overseas universities.

Yes. It is because the courses in our Programme require students to learn the skills of different sports. Without having passion for sports, students will find our courses difficult.

Our Programme aims to train students to become excellent Physical Education teachers. Our courses emphasize the application of exercise science principles to teaching and administration. The content includes sports skills, theories and professional knowledge, such as exercise physiology, exercise psychology, sports pedagogy and sports management. Upon the completion of our Programme, students will be awarded a Bachelor of Education degree, which also leads to an award equivalent to Postgraduate Diploma in Education.

It is not necessary to possess one sports specialty. But if you want to develop your career in the field of physical education, exercise science and health. we expect you to be adventurous and willing to learn, so that you will continuously learn new sports skills.

The number of students admitted per year is about 17–36.
