Welcome To Yunnan Sports Management
Sports Management
The course aims to provide students the knowledge, understanding, and confidence required to debate what sport is, how it is unique, the primary drivers of change that affect how it is produced and consumed, the types and functions of organisations that operate in its public, non-profit and professional sectors, and how to use an understanding of sport culture, strategy, and leadership to manage performance.
International Exposure
Delivery of this course by an Australian lecturer on Chinese soil is part of an agreement between Griffith University (Australia), Yunnan Normal University (China), and the Australian Education Management Group (Australia, China). It is international exposure for both students and universities – a chance for Chinese students to experience Australian lecturing styles and for universities to undertake cultural exchange.
Inspirational Teaching
The Australian lecturer assigned to this international initiative, Dr Jason Harding, is a highly experienced academic. A former sports-scientist (Australian Institute of Sport) and current sports management and technology lecturer (Griffith University), Jason has received a number of accolades for teaching excellence – primarily for his ability to balance the use of innovative technology with an inspirational lecturing style.
