The Sport Management MSc programme explores the multi-faceted area of sport management, combining specialist sport modules with the chance to gain practical industry experience through multiple sport volunteering opportunities. You will develop the skills to excel in a broad range of roles that make sport organisations run and events happen, including within governing bodies, federations, clubs, sponsors, marketing, the media, government, or heritage organisations.
This course is ideal for individuals with a degree in sport (management, coaching or science), event management, marketing, media, business management or humanities who wish to have a career in the sports industry.
We have excellent industry links and you will be encouraged to volunteer at local, national, and international sporting events. Previous students have volunteered with British Gymnastics, UK Athletics, England Hockey, Archery GB and the Rugby World Cup amongst many others.
