Sport Business Management (Hons)

By designing strategies, leading projects and creating awareness, you will help to solve the most pressing challenges facing the sport industry and become indispensable to employers.

You will learn the core principles of business and management through a sport lens and apply this knowledge when experiencing real-world environments. A work placement, regular visits to employers and guest lectures by those working in industry complement the expertise of our staff. Graduates of the programme have successfully advanced within sport and mainstream business pathways, demonstrating the transferable skills of the degree. Our passion is to positively change sport. Our staff have decades of industry experience, undertake globally-recognised research and engage with some of the most important sport organisations nationally and internationally. We live and breathe sport, and have a genuine enthusiasm for sharing this with our students. As part of the course, you will undertake a work placement module of approximately six weeks. This typically takes place in a sport/leisure organisation, a sports management company, or a sport/community development organisation. The Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity (CIMSPA) endorses our sport business management degree, which means you will receive student membership of CIMSPA and have confidence that this degree is what employers are looking for.
