Work integrated learning partnerships
The School of Sport, Exercise and Rehabilitation is looking to foster opportunities for student placements within the high performance sport, sport and exercise science and management space. We recognise that those who work within the industry are often highly trained professionals who juggle multiple demands. Partnering with us offers the opportunity for participating organisations and businesses to engage in a mutually beneficial placement, which has the potential to enhance daily operations whilst developing the next generation of industry professionals.
High Performance Sport
Master of High Performance Sport interns can provide value to professional sports organisations in a range of sport science areas including strength and conditioning, performance analysis, nutrition, sports management, recovery, and injury prevention.
The UTS model of learning equips students with the technical and critical analysis skills required to decipher data sets and research in these high performance roles. Students also develop effective communication and reflective skills needed to build relationships, collaborate and provide productive solutions to other high-performance professionals.
Master of High Performance Sport students benefit from internship experiences as they facilitate growth and application of practical skills and develop an understanding of how to operate and innovate in athletic environments.
If you would like to discuss how our high performance sport interns can add value to your organisation, please reach contact the Work Integrated Learning team at Sport.Placements@uts.edu.au.
