Where you want to be. The concept of people unites these three disciplines. How we see ourselves and how we play and spend our leisure time are key deďŹ ners of our lifestyle and communities as New Zealanders. They are also important attributes in sectors like tourism because they form the basis for our interaction with visitors. They contribute to the New Zealand experience. Lincoln University offers specialist teaching in each of these areas - part of our wider commitment to transforming land, people and economies. If you are studying these disciplines, exciting opportunities await you. With skills in critical thinking and a strong understanding of human behaviour and the way societies work, Social Science graduates are well prepared to take advantage of employment opportunities in many public and private sector organisations. Potential roles include: Central and local government research, policy and planning; industry training organisations; social work; teaching; environmental consultancy; trade union advocacy and human resources management. There is also ongoing demand for skilled staff in the sport and recreation sector. Our graduates are well equipped to select and apply appropriate management, planning, communication and educational skills and techniques to specific recreational needs and settings. Potential roles range from sports facility manager to marketing roles in a national sports organisation to teaching, open space planning, management or park ranger work. The applied Tourism Management qualification will give you a broad understanding of the industry at all levels. Our graduates have worked in central and local government departments, for organisations such as Air New Zealand, international hotel chains, travel agency chains, domestic and overseas tour operators, convention centres, ferry services and tourist attractions. Others work in marketing, event management or have set up their own tourism businesses or gone on to take postgraduate studies in tourism.

EMMA HODGKIN BACHELOR OF RECREATION MANAGEMENT (COMMUNITY RECREATION) GRADUATE PORTFOLIO MANAGER, PUBLIC HEALTH GROUP, MINISTRY OF HEALTH Emma Hodgkin wanted a sports career but wasn’t interested in becoming a PE teacher. “Being able to do a course that is a mix of sport and recreation as well as business and commerce was appealing as I felt that it would give me broader career opportunities in the end.” With a real passion for recreation as a means to improving health and wellbeing, she decided on Community Recreation as a major. “This allowed me to look at recreation and sport from a holistic and community perspective, looking more at how our surroundings impact on our health and wellbeing.” Emma is now working as Portfolio Manager in the Public Health Group of the Ministry of Health. The Public Health Group is responsible for the planning and funding of services not currently funded by District Health Boards (DHBs). “We plan and fund services to promote, protect and improve population health and services that prevent ill health and minimize the risk of disease and injury through population based interventions.” Emma says there were a lot of things she loved about her degree at Lincoln, one of them being the practical work component. Adding to this, she says: “Attending a small university, in a relaxed learning environment, really helped me settle into my studies and helped with the transition from school to university. I think my experiences would have been very different had I chosen to attend a large urban university.”

It was the specialist nature of the Bachelor of Tourism Management degree that made Andrew Cleverley decide to study at Lincoln University. “I believe specialised courses give students a better chance of gaining meaningful employment after graduation.”
Nicky Murray has always had an interest in social science due to its applicability to “real life” so she decided to study a Bachelor of Social Science degree at Lincoln University.
He enjoyed the variety of specialised papers such as Accounting, Business Management, Environmental Physics and Ecology and says that studying at Lincoln taught him to think analytically. “Being a General Manager is about knowing how to manage staff and operate a profitable business and that is what Lincoln focuses on. The lecturers in the tourism field are second to none – it was great to learn from them.” As General Manager Andrew is responsible for the successful operation of the hotel which includes managing staff and budgets and analysing financial results, as well as supervising projects such as refurbishments and entertaining VIP’s including media and travel agents.” Andrew is on call 24/7 and deals with any problem that may arise. “It is a job with long hours but it is also a very rewarding, fast paced career with many benefits.”
“I enjoyed the flexibility and the mix of subjects offered at Lincoln and the lecturers were great, they really took a personal interest in my course.” After successfully completing her Bachelor degree Nicky decided to further her studies and enrol in a Master of Social Science degree, followed by a PhD degree with research on industry training. Nicky says that Lincoln’s style of teaching suited her. “I found the applied and multi-disciplinary nature of studying at Lincoln to be really helpful – this has prepared me well for what I’m doing now at the Industry Training Federation.” As Project Manager Literacy and Learning she works with Industry Training Organisations (ITOs) to support them to build their capability to respond to literacy, language and numeracy issues within their industries.

Frequently asked questions
Bachelor of Social Science What is the Bachelor of Social Science about? The BSocSc provides a strong understanding of human behaviour in the context of human society, with particular, but not exclusive, reference to Aotearoa/New Zealand. Social Science at Lincoln University is different from similar degrees at other universities because it incorporates a multidisciplinary approach which sees students exposed to a variety of subject matter and perspectives. Thus, at Lincoln University, an understanding of human behaviour in the societal context is informed by familiarity with psychology, history, geography, political science, philosophy and sociology. You’ll also be able to supplement your degree with an additional 8-course major or 5-course minor in areas of application which are appropriate to the skills and knowledge gained from a BSocSc. Students who graduate with a degree in Social Science from Lincoln will also have a broad general education and skills in critical thinking, information handling, data analysis and presentation. What majors/minors are recommended as part of the Bachelor of Social Science degree? The following are particularly recommended. Majors: Parks and Outdoor Recreation; Tourism Management; Environmental Management. Minors: Parks and Outdoor Recreation; Tourism Management; Economics; Environmental Management; Event Management; Human Resource Management; Ma-ori Studies; Marketing; Transport.
Who enrols in the Bachelor of Social Science? Some students are attracted to the BSocSc because of the broad general education it offers, while others appreciate the opportunity to become familiar with a number of key social scientific approaches – for example, psychology, history, geography and philosophy. But anyone who is curious about the “How?”, and “Why?” of human behaviour and who appreciates the richness and diversity of social life, will find much to interest and stimulate them in this degree. What courses should I take at school to best prepare for the Bachelor of Social Science? Most school subjects provide suitable preparation, particularly English, history, geography, social studies, even maths. Having an enquiring mind, however, combined with an ability to communicate in written and oral form, is the best preparation of all.
Bachelor of Sport and Recreation Management What sorts of subjects should I take at school to best prepare me for the BSRM degree? There are no specific school subject requirements for entering any of the BSRM degrees, but some subjects will be more useful than others. The Year 12 and 13 school subjects that will assist you are: English, geography, history, mathematics with statistics, economics, biology, tourism studies, physical education and outdoor education.
Your course advisors can help you plan your time at Lincoln University to take full advantage of these or other majors and minors. PAGE 14
www.lincoln.ac.nz
What will I get out of doing the BSRM? The BSRM educates you for a career in sport and recreation management. It is also a good general degree as it provides you with an excellent education for employment of any sort. During your studies, you will engage in academic and practical experiences that will challenge you and deepen your interest in your chosen field. On completion of the degree you will have enhanced your knowledge in sport and recreation management. You will also have enhanced skills in critical thinking and analysis, problem-solving, information management and use, research, time management, personal and group organisation, budgeting and teamwork. You will gain more than just your degree though - graduating with the BSRM from Lincoln University means that you carry with you our reputation for academic excellence combined with practical ability. Why do I need practical work? Practical work is an integral part of the degree programme and requires a minimum of 12 weeks (480 hours) of appropriate industry experience. This experience allows for the understanding of the relationship between academic learning and practice. It also provides students with insights into the industry and possible employment opportunities.
Bachelor of Tourism Management Why study tourism at Lincoln University? Tourism is the world’s largest industry and there is an increasing demand for university graduates who have a specialised understanding of the sector. Lincoln University’s tourism programme is the second oldest and longest running academic tourism programme in New Zealand. Our close links with the tourism industry make the degree directly relevant to a career in the sector. The Bachelor of Tourism Management is also an internationally-relevant qualification. Tourism studies at Lincoln University are not just a branch of business studies but a multi-disciplinary degree focusing on people, places and business – our programme integrates the study of tourism and tourists with business and resource management. To support this programme Lincoln University has received more government funding than any other university.
The Centre for Land, Economy and People at Lincoln University is dedicated to interdisciplinary research and is involved with many tourism related projects for the private and public sector. Lincoln University also offers research degrees that allow students to continue their tourism studies to the postgraduate or doctoral level. How is Lincoln University’s Bachelor of Tourism Management degree different from other tourism studies offered at other universities? The Bachelor of Tourism Management is a dedicated named degree in tourism. It has a specific focus on tourism that reflects the requirements of the tourism industry itself and links with similar overseas degree programmes. The programme is not located within a commerce faculty, enabling a more multi-disciplinary focus. Alternatively, tourism may be studied at Lincoln University as a major area of study in other degree programmes. In these other programmes, tourism is studied as an integral, but not exclusive, part of commerce, recreation management or environmental management. Does the Bachelor of Tourism Management require me to do a work placement? No. But we strongly recommend you undertake Lincoln University’s Employment Internship programme at the end of your second year of study. This programme will help you find suitable paid employment in the tourism industry over the summer months to complement your degree. It also provides you with help in CV development, interview skills and all the aspects associated with gaining employment. What if I want to transfer from another degree at Lincoln University into the Bachelor of Tourism Management? Transfer arrangements are straightforward. If you wish to transfer from your present degree into the Bachelor of Tourism Management you should speak to a tourism course advisor. What subjects should I take at school to best prepare me for this degree? Taking subjects such as tourism studies, English, maths, science, geography, economics and languages is helpful, but not essential. It is perhaps best to take the subjects you are most interested in so that your interests can be followed through into tertiary study.
