Sport and Leisure
Your career guide
The sport and leisure industry covers a wide range of areas with jobs in sectors such as sport and recreation and health and fitness but also tourism, events and management.
Although sport and leisure management courses are highly vocational courses, the fact that you gain an understanding of issues relating to psychology, sociology and social policy means you could move into roles within the public sector. These could include policy planning, community development and social work. Your voluntary work and vacation and term time jobs can be very important in breaking into this sector.
