Bachelor of Business (Sport Management)

Make your mark behind the scenes in the dynamic sport industry through Deakin's Bachelor of Business (Sport Management). Develop the skills required to manage sport organisations, coordinate sporting competitions and major events, and work in community-based sporting programs. Learn how to manage the business side of sport with specialised training in sport marketing, finance, management and law, so you can thrive in increasingly professionalised sporting organisations. You can also expand on your business expertise by completing a complementary business major.

You will gain access to unique opportunities with leading clubs and organisations. Our partnerships with the Melbourne Cricket Club (MCC), Australian Football League (AFL), Swimming Australia, Geelong Cats, Sport Australia Hall of Fame, Netball Victoria and many more, will open the door to exciting placement experiences that connect you with the best athletes, managers and administrators in sport.

Want to help shape the future of your favourite sports?

Develop the skills needed to make a real impact through hands-on experience. You will participate in industry placements, with at least 100 hours in a host sporting organisation, so you can apply your knowledge in a practical environment.

Learn from teachers who are leaders in their field. You will benefit from their knowledge and strategies, while growing your professional networks through their vast connections.

With this qualification, you will be well equipped to work with organisations that support sport, such as sport promoters and player agents, sporting goods manufacturers and retailers and facility management.

• Certify supporting documents

  Most documents need to be certified. For example, award certificates, academic transcripts and your identity papers (passport). Documents in languages other than English will also need to be translated. Take the original document and a photocopy to an authorised person (for example, justice of the peace, public notary, member of the police force or Australian lawyer), to sign.

  Be sure to attach all requested supporting documentation, otherwise your application could be delayed. If you get your application in early, this gives us more time to arrange visas and accommodation if you need them.

• Submit your application

  Depending on your nationality and country of residence, you can submit your application directly to Deakin through our online international student application service StudyLink Connect or through a Deakin authorised agent.
