INTRODUCTION
FACULTY OF SPORTS & EXERCISE SCIENCE
The Faculty of Sports & Exercise Science, FSES (formerly known as Sports Centrre and later
Centre for Sport and Exercise Sciences) was established in 1986. It was the first tertiary
institution in Malaysia to offer the Bachelor of Sports Science degree programme in 1995.
Sports in Malaysia is heading towards a new era whereby sports can be a source of public
income for the nation. Thus local sports should be managed in a professional, scientific and
systematic manner. Sports Science is a field of study that examines various aspects of the
application of science in sports. Practitioners and professional sports scientists must possess
knowledge in various disciplines related to Sports Science and are able to apply the theoretical
and practical components effectively. This can only be achieved through formal education at
college or university. Being the pioneer institution in Malaysia to offer the Bachelor of Sports
Science back in 1995, the Faculty of Sports and Exercise Science has successfully produced
intelligent and credible graduates from this programme and they have been working in various
sports organisations and industries actively since 1999. They have been and are taking their
role as leaders in this field, managing sports in both public and private sectors.
