PURPOSE AND RATIONALE OF THE QUALIFICATION 
Purpose:

There is a critical need to update and extend research capabilities and skills, along with academic knowledge in the field of Sport Management, especially with the exponential growth of the business of sport in South Africa (e.g. 2010 World Cup) and globally. For example sport in the United Kingdom during 2004 accounted for 2% of GDP and 2.5% of total consumer expenditure in the UK. Forecasts expect this to increase to 15% in 2007. One would therefore expect similar trends in countries whose economies were characterised by a dynamic sport business industry such as South Africa.

There is a fundamental need to ensure an academic pathway for graduates who wish to further their knowledge, skills and research applications in the field of Sport Management. While at the same time addressing the skills and Qualification shortage that presently exists in South Africa in terms of academics, researchers and professionals who are able to engage in the sport industry at all levels, especially those relating to strategy and policy development.

The M.Tech Sport Management programme will thus ensure a clear professional and academic pathway that will enhance managerial, business and research skills required for the 21st century in Africa, as well as for the world market. The M.Tech will also offer international students the opportunity to study in South Africa at an applied level. The need for this level of expertise and applied knowledge in South Africa, Africa and in the global economy is underpinned by the rapid and continuing evolvement of the business of sport.

Furthermore the emerging field of business and sport management is demanding better qualified and experienced people who meet the challenges of the 21st century, including managers, agents, researchers, strategic analysts, event organisers, project managers, team managers and human factor specialists for the sport industry.

Rationale:

The Master fo Technology will provide an empowering environment that offers prospective post graduate students key opportunities to facilitate learning, research and scholarship. The Sport Management Masters programme will actively and pragmatically encourage partnerships with government and industry, and ensure that it creates and applies knowledge beneficial to all our sporting communities. It is essential that we develop a level of learning, expertise, skills and research capacity that is required for the emerging sport industry in South Africa, the African continent and Globally.

The degree is intended to provide opportunities for those candidates in possession of a wide range of Qualifications in the Sport Management and Sports Science fields and/or individuals with recognised experience in the field of sport. The Qualification has been designed to improve and empower the knowledge base and skills of practising sports and business managers and is to be introduced in order to augment national capacity in the rapidly developing field of sport management and business. This would be reflected in the delivery of knowledge and skills that would impact positively on a number of enterprises, projects both in not only business environments, but also in government structures and in the community. 

LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING 
Students who seek admission into the M.Tech Sport Management Degree should be aware that in order to optimize their success, they should have shown that they have achieved, and/or have experience of:
  • A background and/or full/part studies that included research methods (and ideally statistics) in their Qualification(s).
  • The ability to work independently.
  • The prospective student should be able to exhibit that they have experience in the field of sport and its related fields (marketing, management, sport science, sport technology).
  • The student should be able to demonstrate critical thinking in relation to research problems and processes, including analyzing data (statistics) and problem solving.

    Recognition of Prior Learning:

    The programme takes cognizance of the fact that some individuals may not have had the opportunity to study and achieve the access criteria. Therefore there is an opportunity for all potential graduates who do not meet the 'normal' entry requirements to apply for access into the Masters Sport Management via the process of Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).

    It is important to remember that the Master of Technology in Sport Management is a research; thesis driven project. It may therefore be necessary to offer Subject Modules in Research Methods (RMD44RM) to students who have little or no background in research methodology, ethics, statistics etc in order to empower students with the knowledge and skills by which they can successfully engage in their research project If a student wishes to specialise in an area in which it is thought they may require additional support, then it will be recommended that the prospective graduate register for a subject in that area, e.g. if the study is concerned with for example Sport Tourism, then the appropriate module of study will be required in order to inculcate the current theories and practices in the field. This in turn will enable the student to better realise their objectives during the research project.

    The following information includes details of the CPUT Recognition of Prior Learning institutional policy which would be applied in the case of an application.
    Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is undertaken in the context of the institutional commitment to alignment with the principles of the NQF Levels and the National Plan for Higher Education in South Africa, with specific reference to:
  • Broadening the social base of higher education.
  • Increasing access to higher education.
  • Increasing mobility of students across higher education institutions and other learning contexts.
  • Accelerating progress through learning programmes.
  • Increasing the number of graduates.
  • Developing staff.

    The scope of this policy is limited to Recognition of Prior Learning in the context of academic programmes at CPUT. It does not refer to Recognition of Prior Learning used in the context of job promotion, job upgrading, employment equity planning or succession planning, which this policy views as falling under policies related to Human Resource Management (HRM) at CPUT. The Recognition of Prior Learning policy may, however, be used to inform HRM decisions where career pathing needs to be linked to educational opportunities for CPUT staff.

    Credit transfer (see definition below) is not viewed as Recognition of Prior Learning in this policy. Credit transfer requires CPUT to validate prior formal learning through evaluation of the quality of an accredited provider and its relevant accredited programme(s) and parts of programmes (i.e. subjects or modules within a programme(s)).

    Recognition of Prior Learning requires validation of prior informal and non-formal learning. Credit transfer may, however, fall within the scope of this policy where CPUT assessors doubt the currency of part(s) of a Qualification/programme, but are willing to consider the possibility that the Recognition of Prior Learning candidate may have achieved the relevant currency through informal or non-formal learning (see definitions of formal, non-formal and informal learning under the definitions section below).

    Subject exemptions as practised in the past are regarded as Recognition of Prior Learning if the experience and competence of the candidate is being assessed against the outcomes of a specified subject/module, but not if the subject exemption involves credit transfer as described above.

    This policy does not cover mature age exemption as a route for access to CPUT Qualifications/programmes. Rules and regulations pertaining to such exemption is covered in CPUT Admission Requirements and Regulations.

    This policy and associated procedural guidelines have been formulated to regulate the implementation of the Recognition of Prior Learning at CPUT and to ensure quality and consistency in the standards that are applied.

    Definitions:

    Recognition of Prior Learning:

    Recognition of Prior Learning is the process of assessing and, where appropriate, accrediting the acquired knowledge, competences and capabilities of a person, gained in formal, informal or non-formal learning. Recognition of Prior Learning is conducted with reference to outcomes in a formal Qualification and/or levels on the NQF and, where relevant, particular workplace and social competences.

    Types of learning that may be considered in Recognition of Prior Learning; Formal, non-formal and informal learning.

    Formal learning is that which takes place in a formal institution such as a school or university within a set curriculum. In South African higher education it is learning that takes place in an accredited higher education institution within an accredited learning programme.

    Non-formal learning is that which occurs as an organized educational activity outside the formal education system, but intended to serve identifiable objectives or learning outcomes. In the context of the South African NQF Levels, it is learning that has not been formally assessed against the criteria contained in a registered Qualification or Unit Standard.

    Informal learning is learning that takes place within activities that are not primarily organized or structured to achieve learning objectives or outcomes. This includes learning that happens through performing tasks in the workplace, home and community, through engaging in reading and with the mass media, through participation in informal discussions and through taking constructive advice given by peers or superiors. Informal learning is usually non-sequential, non-course/module-based and not formally assessed.

    Types of Recognition of Prior Learning at CPUT:

    All Recognition of Prior Learning is about granting status to an individual based on their prior learning, either for "access", "advanced standing", "credit/exemption" (for informal or non-formal learning) or a combination of two or more these types of Recognition of Prior Learning.

    General Principles:
  • Recognition of Prior Learning is integral to the promotion of lifelong learning.
  • Recognition of Prior Learning is part of a holistic approach to learning and the acknowledgement of the value of past learning and experience in a variety of formal, non-formal and informal contexts.
  • Recognition of Prior Learning is a vehicle for redressing past inequities in training and education.
  • Recognition of Prior Learning is a vehicle for broadening access to this institution for study purposes.
  • CPUT is committed to using Recognition of Prior Learning to meet national needs regarding skills development.
  • CPUT is committed to opening and creating learning pathways for individuals and groups, as described by the National Qualifications Framework.
  • CPUT is committed to the principles of increasing the mobility of learners and the portability of learning achievements.
  • Recognition of Prior Learning should be subject to and part of sound assessment practices.
  • The Recognition of Prior Learning process and the treatment of applicants should be free of any discriminatory practices.
  • Other than in exceptional cases (in which a rationale would have to be provided to the Senate Executive Committee) at CPUT the award of a whole qualification cannot be gained through Recognition of Prior Learning. Rather than award a whole Qualification through Recognition of Prior Learning, CPUT in most cases will award the status of a qualification in order to provide access to a Qualification on the next level of the NQFevels. E.g. Rather than award a National Diploma based on Recognition of Prior Learning, CPUT will grant a candidate who provides evidence of the requisite competence, access to a Bachelor's Degree.

    Specific Principles of Implementation:
  • All students and staff must be offered the opportunity to gain recognition for prior learning.
  • Competences assessed through Recognition of Prior Learning should be current in relation to programmes and Qualifications at CPUT.
  • All qualification specifications and learning programmes must include appropriate mechanisms for dealing with Recognition of Prior Learning.
  • There must be appropriate mechanisms in place in each faculty to deal with Recognition of Prior Learning.

    Access to the Qualification:

    Admission requirements will be based on attracting and recruiting students who are in possession of at least a Bachelor of Technology Sport Management or equivalent level qualification of 480 Credits. Candidates will be expected to have an acceptable level of achievement in the qualifying degree. Recognition will be given to a range of aligned academic disciplines whose modules and credits have acceptable academic exit equivalence. It would include graduates of Human Movement Science/Studies, Ergonomics, Kinesiology, Wellness, Nursing, Paramedics, Sport Science, Biokinetics, Physiology, Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Wellness and Somatology, Emergency Medical Studies and/or academic programmes that focus on human performance and human function.

    Access could also be granted to Management and Business Graduates (Human Resource, Public Relations, Retail and Marketing Management) whose research focus will be in the field of sport, and/or applicants who have Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) in the field of sport.

    Any student whose application is not clearly aligned with the Master of Technology Sport Management may make a submission via the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) Committee to present their case. This procedure takes due consideration of individuals who were from what may be construed as 'previously disadvantaged' and allows them to make submissions with respect to their past experience and gained Qualifications.

    1st year undergraduate intake into the Sport Management National Diploma (precursor to Bachelor of Technology Sport Management) has been harmonised with the new Senior Certificate: and involves the student achieving: NSC: English: Rating 4, Preference to those obtaining a Rating 4 in Mathematical Literacy, Maths, Biology, Physiology, Science, Business Economics. Preference will be given to those who participated as a Player, Coach or Administrator at international, national and provincial level.

    ASSOCIATED ASSESSMENT CRITERIA 
    Integrated Assessment:

    Research based thesis that involves a continuous process of consultation and review with the supervisor (and co-supervisor). Feedback and guidance will be elicited through the supervisor(s) and progress regularly monitored. Progress and Moderation tracking will be facilitated via the Faculty of Business Research Committee, along with the Higher Degrees Committee. 

    INTERNATIONAL COMPARABILITY 
    The sport management industry is internationally well established and accounts for significant business and revenue generation, as indicated earlier it accounted for 2% of GDP in the UK in 2002. Many of the stakeholders in the field of sport management are companies and relevant support services (SMME's), corporates, academic institutions and private providers. They operate in an international arena and have close links with international groups. The thesis driven process of the sport management masters programme compares well with international partners in the USA, Australia, New Zealand and Europe.

    Delivery Systems, Academic Profile of Staff and Physical Research Capability:

    The Sport Management department at CPUT is based on the Mowbray Campus. The programme is well established and the delivery of the academic project which includes the National Diploma and Bachelor of Technology Sport Management Qualifications is facilitated by excellent infra-structure, characterised by modern well equipped lecture theatres, computer labs, learner support (Fundani) all of which compare favourably with similar programmes overseas.

    The academic staff profile of the Sport Management is of a very high calibre, which is further strengthened by close working relationships with the Research Department, Public Relations Department and the Tourism Management Department. The key role players involved in the delivery of the Master of Technology Sport Management would include:

    The Physical Research capacity is underpinned by a state of the art Human Performance Laboratory (HPL). It includes all of the required facilities and scientific equipment to support research into the area of sport management, sport technology, sport methodologies and sport performance, as well as catering for related research into human factors projects. The HPL is located in a spacious building that includes metabolic testing equipment, isokinetic machines, electromyography testing, blood testing, biomechanical analysis via digital telemetry, along with exercise equipment for aerobic and resistance training. It should be noted that the HPL at CPUT is commensurate in its capacity and research outputs to other sport research facilities around the world in similarly aligned academic research departments.

    All of the above factors contribute favorably towards the successful implementation of the Master of Technology Sport Management programme when compared to other overseas institutions In fact in every instance the present capacity within the sport management department at CPUT clearly exceeds base requirements in respect of management and social development initiatives for such an element of the academic project.

    The Masters Qualification in Sport Management is offered in many countries, whose universities have well established programmes in the field of Sport, Kinesiology, Human Movement Science etc. It should also be noted that a number of Business School/Faculties have recognized the importance of Sport Management and as a consequence offer Sport Management Masters Programmes that are part delivered in partnership by both Management, Business and Sport specialists. This collaboration between departments and academic disciplines is apparent in the Sport MBA programme at the University of Abertay, Scotland (www.abertay.ac.uk). The extent and importance of the Qualification is reflected in the fact that the Masters Qualification in Sport Management is offered by ninety three universities in the United States of America, and is also a well established post graduate Programme in Canada, United Kingdom, Europe, Australia and New Zealand.

    The Sport Management Masters Programmes that are offered at overseas institutions are delivered in three formats, namely:
  • Mentorship Track.
  • Thesis Track.
  • Non-Thesis track.

    Specific examples of the Masters in Sport Management can be identified at:
  • Florida State University, USA.
  • Ithaca University, USA.
  • California University of Pennsylvania, USA.
  • University of Loughborough, UK.
  • Leeds University Business School, UK.
  • Worcester University, UK.
  • University of Canberra, Australia.
  • Victoria University, Australia.
  • Singapore University.
  • University of Otago, New Zealand.
  • University of San Francisco, USA.
  • University of Alberta, Canada.
  • University of Western Ontario, Canada.

    To take one of the aforementioned institutions namely the University of Otago, New Zealand one will note that Thesis driven outputs include such titles as "Power, politics and policy process in New Zealand Sport" by Joseph Piggen. It is clear that a similar study in the South African context would be extremely valuable for making informed strategy and policy decisions for the future of sport in this country, especially if one considers the issues determining transformation policy.

    At the Kent State University, USA their Masters Degree for the thesis option includes two components namely ELS 63051: Qualitative and Research Methods in GELS and ELS 63199 Thesis I. It should be noted that if prospective applicants for the Sport Management Programme at CPUT are lacking in the area of Research methods then it will be necessary for the student to register for the Research Methods module (RMD44RM).

    Whilst the initial Sport Management Master of Technology Degree at CPUT will be offered in the Thesis only format, it is envisaged that once the Programme is introduced that the alternative variants (mentorship and non-thesis driven formats) may be considered, if market needs require it. Therefore the intended Master of Technology Sport Management Thesis Degree would be complimented (if warranted) by perhaps a less research driven format, that may be characterized by modules of course work and possibly workplace experience and thus increase access for potential students from a broad spectrum of backgrounds, including individuals who were historically disadvantaged.

    The structures and policies of the following international institutions were reviewed and compared with the proposed Sport Management Master of Technology. It should be noted that all of them compare favorably with proposed Masters Degree and that the proposed Sport Management Master of Technology Degree offered by CPUT compares well with other overseas institutions, and exceeds base requirements to deliver a Masters Degrees in Sport Management at Level 8.

    ARTICULATION OPTIONS 
    Articulation within the department is expected to operate at a number of levels. Firstly the introduction of the Masters of Technology in Sport Management Programme provides a clear academic and research pathway for sport management undergraduates towards post graduate studies and Qualifications.

    Thus a student can envisage an academic-research career path from undergraduate (Sport Management National Diploma) to Sport Management Bachelor of Technology and then on to the Sport Management Masters (and thereafter to doctoral level).

    This in a sequential articulation model.

    Due the thesis format of the Sport Management Masters of Technology it also provides a mechanism whereby research driven projects can be suitably placed within the academic structure of the Sport Management Department and the Faculty of Business.

    Thus individuals who have an interest in research at Masters Level, who also have the requisite academic level and experience may specialise and enhance their academic qualifications as well as their career opportunities by researching in the field of sport and management. There is a great need for a qualification of this type to satisfy the exponential need for research in the area of Sport Management, and to provide suitably qualified and experienced individuals for the workplace.

    Within the CPUT institution one can also observe clear articulation possibilities for students who are presently studying other courses that operate within the Business Faculty, namely Management, Public Relations, Marketing, Tourism, Retail, Human Resources (especially the ergonomic component of HR) who may wish to specialise their academic and research interests in the area of sport management.

    The introduction of the Sport Management Masters of Technology offers these students whose interest in the field of sport and management factors may have evolved during academic or workplace experience a clear opportunity to focus on a research (thesis) driven project that fulfils in order to further themselves.

    The generic nature of sport management has outcome possibilities for academic disciplines whose applied research outcomes may be suitably catered for. Academic programmes that may have clear research articulation outcomes in Sport Management at Masters of Technology Level include Human Movement Science, Sport Science, Physical Education, Ergonomics, Kinesiology, Wellness and Samotology, Industrial Design, Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Emergency Medical Care and other academic programmes whose emphasis may include sport and management.

    The list of departments (and/or suitable students) will be to a large extent dependant on the knowledge, competencies and skills acquired during their courses, and viability of the Masters of Technology Sport Management programme as an effective realisation vehicle for their post graduate studies.

    Further articulation possibilities exist to partner with sport academies, national sporting codes, professional sport organisations and government etc especially in the context of research.

    Articulation will also occur through the recruitment strategy whereby the Masters of Technology in Sport Management Degree will offer students who are graduating from other institutions and programmes (e.g. UCT Higher Diploma in Sport Management) an avenue for them to elevate their qualifications through a meaningful applied research project in the field of Sport Management. 

    MODERATION OPTIONS 
    The present CPUT guidelines for a thesis driven Masters Degree require that two supervisors are appointed who are suitably qualified and experienced in the field and scope of the study. Three external examiners are appointed one of whom should be an international examiner (assuming that this is appropriate in the context of specialist research).
