    About

    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.

    Requirements

    Entry Requirements

    Entry requirements

    Selection is based on a holistic consideration of your academic merit, work experience, likelihood of success, availability of places, participation requirements, regulatory requirements, and individual circumstances. You will need to meet the minimum academic and English language proficiency requirements to be considered for selection, but this does not guarantee admission.

    A combination of qualifications and experience may be deemed equivalent to minimum academic requirements.

    If you don't meet the academic entry requirements as outlined in the tabs below, or haven't completed Year 12, or don't hold any relevant qualifications, the STAT (Skills for Tertiary Admissions Test) Multiple Choice (MC) may be an option for you to meet course entry requirements.

    Academic requirements

      Current or recent secondary education

      If you're currently studying Year 12, or completed Year 12 in the last two years, you will need to meet all the following criteria to be considered for admission to this degree:

      Year 12 prerequisite subjects

      • Units 3 and 4: a study score of at least 25 in English EAL (English as an Additional Language) or at least 20 in English other than EAL

      ATAR

      • Senior Secondary Certificate of Education with an unadjusted ATAR of at least 50 or equivalent

      Higher education

      If you have undertaken higher education studies after secondary schooling, you will need to meet all the following criteria to be considered for admission to this degree:

      • successful completion of at least two credit points in an equivalent (AQF Level 7) bachelor degree.

      Vocational education

      If you have undertaken any Vocational Education and Training (VET) study after secondary school, you will need to meet at least one of following criteria to be considered for admission to this degree:

      • completion of a certificate IV or higher in a related discipline
      • completion of a diploma or higher in any discipline
      • at least 50% completion of a diploma or higher in a related discipline

      Work and life experience

      If you finished Year 12 more than three years ago, or did not finish Year 12, and haven’t undertaken any further study, you may be considered for admission to this degree based on your work, volunteer and/or life experience.

      Submit a cover letter outlining your motivation to study, previous education and employment history, and how this course can assist your career aspirations or progression. Think of it as a job application cover letter – it should be relevant and demonstrate your commitment and interest in this course or study area.

      English Program Requirements

      All students must be able to prove that they can meet our English language requirements. Our English language requirements are divided into five bands – from Band A through to Band E. These Bands indicate the level of English required to undertake the course, with Band E representing the highest English skill level required.

      You will be able to provide evidence of your English language skills if you have:

      • completed an English language test such as IELTS, Pearson, TOEFL or Cambridge
        • Applicants who are unable to sit standard tests due to public health concerns relating to the COVID-19 pandemic can complete an online English language test such as IELTS Indicator, OET@Home, TOEFL Special Home Edition.

      • 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.
