Human Movement Science

Dr Aayesha Kholvadia (Acting Head of Department)

Greetings and a warm welcome from the Department of Human Movement Science or HMS as we call it. We are excited to welcome you, our 2023 first-year students, at this important start of your tertiary education journey.

Well done to you and your families for the hard work and sacrifices you have made to get here. We are a department that prides itself on creating, facilitating and applying contemporary knowledge in sport and physical activity promotion. We do this to develop accountable, competent and critical thinking individuals who will make a meaningful and positive contribution for the betterment of society.  We offer two degree programmes (BHMS and BHSc in Biokinetiics) and one diploma programme (Dip in Sport Management). In each of these programmes, students complete compulsory core and fundamental modules, as well as a choice of elective sport modules. All the programmes offered open doors to pursing post graduate qualifications.  I would like to encourage you to make the best of this opportunity, work hard, enjoy student life, and make yourself and your families proud.
