What you study	Business Studies Management Studies Others in Business & Administrative Studies	Business Studies Hospitality, Recreation and Leisure Management Studies
What it is	You study business and commerce while also taking significant courses in humanities — literature, history, philosophy, or social sciences — rather than focusing on business alone. This integration means you graduate with both a business foundation and the analytical and communication skills humanities develops, making you different from a straight commerce program. It suits students who want business skills but also value critical thinking across cultures and ideas, and who are comfortable with a broader curriculum.	Sport Management teaches you how to run the business side of sports organisations — teams, leagues, arenas, events — covering marketing, budgeting, operations, and human resources. It combines business fundamentals with hospitality and recreation knowledge, so you study both general management skills and how they apply specifically to the sports industry. This suits people who love sports and want careers in administration, marketing, or event management rather than playing or coaching.
