“While you celebrate your accomplishments,
please do not lose sight of the need to continue to develop and build capacity.
The technological advances in sports demands that you continue the pursuit of
post graduate degrees. The better qualified you are will determine the quality
of preparation for our athletes.”

Technology programme contributes to the formation of professionals, who would
be capable of managing leisure, sports and physical activities programmes that
are necessary for the health and recreation for all.
The graduate will be able to
research and develop technologies needed to improve the quality of life through
sports and leisure services. The programme also includes courses in accounting,
management, planning, marketing, economics, and computer applications.
The Sports Technology management

information, facility management, human recourse, sport ethics, sports law and
sport finance.

and Health Training will be able to evaluate the physical condition and
prescribe physical exercises geared towards health as well as promote and
evaluate the development of lasting and autonomous habits of the practice of
physical activity and sports among adults, elderly and persons with
disabilities.
