Sport Management BSc (Hons) has been designed to enable you to appreciate and evaluate sport as a global business from an informed and inquisitive managerial viewpoint.

At every level of study, you'll develop vocationally relevant experience and skills; such as event management, strategic and economic planning, social media management, and sport marketing. You'll also develop transferable skills in areas such as; communication, negotiation, teamwork, leadership, and problem-solving.

What is the learning experience like on this course?

The modules respond to the distinctive needs of international sports organisations. Therefore, the course has been designed from the outset as a sport management degree, rather than a business degree with a few sport modules attached. Learning in this sport rich environment provides numerous opportunities for you to engage in CPD, volunteering, access a variety of sports networks, and to undertake a placement with a local sport organisation – alternatively, you may choose to complete a placement with an international partner.

Due to our unique learning and teaching experience, you'll graduate from our degree with a rounded knowledge of specific and transferable management skills, which are desirable to a variety of graduate-level employers.
