Which University?
Does anyone know which universities are known for their sports-related undergraduate courses? Thank you.

Re: Which University?
Thank you for the replies. I was hoping that someone who have specific experience or knowledge about which universities are known for certain courses - eg I was told that QUT is known for industry-based and very hands-on approach (in engineering courses etc, but sports?) while UQ is more academic in approach. The USC also offers sports-related courses, but is very new (think abt 10 years old and one of the smallest in scale and ranking). A uni in Sydney offers sports-related degree and lists facilities as their strong point as they hosted the 2000 Olympics, but not sure about their strength in their programs and approach. Would appreciate anyone who has knowledge about this.
Thanks.
Thanks.

One thing though, over here they call sports science "human movement" - it had me confused for a while.
