As one of New Zealand's most rapidly expanding sectors, the sports and recreation field offers rewarding professional pathways. The Waikato Bachelor of Health, Sport & Human Performance (BHSHP) prepares you with contemporary expertise to thrive in this evolving landscape while enhancing people's physical, emotional, and social wellness. Situated in the Waikato Region's core, our institution takes pride in cultivating strong connections with leading national sports bodies and venues. These collaborations enable students to experience diverse career options, from elite athletics (including the Waikato Chiefs, BOP Magic, and Cycling NZ) to community initiatives (such as Sport Waikato, Parafed, and Disabilities Waikato). Our cutting-edge sport science facilities feature specialized equipment, including The University of Waikato Sports Laboratory at Cambridge Avantidrome and The University of Waikato Adams Centre for High Performance in Tauranga. Both locations offer advanced technology for assessing athletic capabilities, training, and recuperation, complete with an altitude simulation chamber.
