Study Sports Science and Physical Education in Hong Kong

The Chinese University of Hong Kong

The Department of Sports Science and Physical Education (SSPE)

 

The Department of SSPE is committed to academic excellence and professional relevance in the Hong Kong society. To continuously enhance the quality of our mission, all teaching staff members are actively engaged in research projects that investigate issues specifically related to sports and physical activities; and their influence on health from different perspectives. Our research not only links us to the international scientific community but also influences local professionals in the fields of sports, exercise, and health-related industries, including both school and out-of-school settings.

At present, the Department is offering a number of leading undergraduate and postgraduate programs, which our external reviewers have regularly claimed compare favorably with similar programs offered by other world-leading third level institutions. The SSPE programs offer a multi-disciplinary approach involving biological and behavioral sciences, devoted to providing students witha sound foundation to develop health-related physical education. Students who are currently enrolled, as well as those who have already graduated, have contributed to the development of the Department in ways that make a significant and unique contribution for the betterment of Hong Kong.

UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMS

B.Ed (P.E. Exercise Science and Health ) JS4329

The B.Ed. Programme in Physical Education, Exercise Science and Health aims at training physical education teachers, sport coaches, sports management and health promotion personnel for local academic institutions, as well as government and private organisations. This programme leads to the award of a B.Ed. degree, which includes recognition as equivalent to a Postgraduate Diploma in Education, and entitles students to enter the teaching profession in school settings immediately after graduation. There is increasing recognition of the importance of health improvement through sports and physical education. Taking the opportunity of the extra year in university as a result of the education reform, we broaden the horizon of students within and beyond their major disciplines. New courses in health, sports administration and marketing, advanced professional skills, internship, and research experience are provided. Students take 147 credits (including 104 units in the Major Programme) within 5 years in order to graduate. The programme trains students as generalists in sports and physical education, or as specialist in the areas of exercise physiology, sports biomechanics, sports psychology, sports management, physical education curriculum, sports pedagogy, health and fitness, and test and measurement. Students may choose any of the above specialized topics as their graduation research project.

B.Sc. (Exercise Science and Health Education)

The B.Sc. Programme in Exercise Science and Health Education aims to provide an excellent learning experience to students who aspire to pursue a career in exercise, sport and allied health sciences. The Programme is characterised by two closely linked areas. The Exercise Science component explores the complex nature of human movement and examines the manner by which the body reacts to acute and chronic physical activity pursuits, such as general fitness regimes, lifestyle physical activities, and elite sport. The Health Education component examines the efficacy of a variety of prescribed physical activities, as well as theories and strategies for health promotion. The courses are designed to assist individuals and communities in achieving a better understanding of health issues, and thereby preventing and changing unhealthy lifestyle and behaviours linked to chronic disease, disability, and poor quality of life. This B.Sc. Programme will prepare students for professional practice in exercise science, behavioural science, and health-related careers. This Programme is funded by the University Grants Committee.

HIGHER DEGREE PROGRAMS

The programs reflect the mission of the Department and are based on the assumption that physical activity is a health-related behaviour that influences the health and well-being of individuals. It is from the perspective that post-graduate students can study physical activity (including sports) using a biomechanical, psychological, sociological, pedagogical or physiological approach. Consequently, all of the research conducted in the Department is focused on physical activity in terms of its contribution to related fields of sports medicine, health and exercise.
