Dean's Message

Dr. Akshai Mansingh

Welcome to 2022-23!  The last academic year proved to be a major challenge to sport throughout the region, and the Faculty of Sport was very much affected by this. While sporting activities slowly resumed in all except one of our landed campuses, the Faculty was able to continue its academic pursuits, expanding programme offerings with the addition of the BSc Sport Coaching at Cave Hill in 2021-22. The MSc Sport Business Management started at Mona in January 2021. For the existing programmes we strengthened our cross-campus teaching platform so that students benefited from the best lecturers across the campuses irrespective of which campus they were registered in. Provisions were made for practical classes where they were necessary.   

We used the year to strengthen our partnerships across the region which will have benefits for our students. Partnerships with the Sport Company of Trinidad and Tobago (SporTT), the Caribbean Premier League, and the Association of Netball Federations of North America, amongst others, are expected to open the door for internships and opportunities for experiential learning for our students.  

We look forward to 2022-23 as we continue to strive to provide the best experience in sports to all of our students and look forward to a brighter future in Sport for the region and the world.
