Dean's Message

Dr. Akshai Mansingh

We welcome all our new and returning students to the new academic year. Last year we celebrated our first graduates from our Sport Kinetics programme out of the St. Augustine Campus. This year we will graduate the first from the Global campus! Our Sport Sciences programme at the Cave Hill campus remains robust and we commenced the BSc Sport Coaching programme there as well. We are also happy to report that many of the graduates have moved on to enroll in our postgraduate programmes at the Master’s level.

Our facilities continue to get facelifts on all campuses. As our student bodies enjoy their use, we strive to provide facilities of the highest quality to all our competing teams and our tracks, cricket fields, swimming pool and indoor facilities across the campuses are some of the best in the region. This year we hope to get the other fields to match.  Our cricket fields at Cave Hill and St. Augustine were used as practice venues for the T20 World Cup and the latter saw the return of First Class cricket in over a decade. 

The newly branded Global Campus has allowed us to extend our offerings beyond the region. As we welcome the existing students from the former Open Campus, we welcome the new students with the hope that you can settle into your new phase of life seamlessly and suggest that you reach out to senior students and staff as soon as possible if you encounter any difficulties. 

Welcome to the Faculty of Sport – your place to shine!

We hope you have success academically and in whichever sport you compete in at whatever level. We are here to see you through to your best potential.
