Sports Business Management

Our Sport Business Management MSc provides you with the opportunity to study the sport and business worlds in-depth. Both sectors are in constant flux, especially the sports sector which is advancing in new ways such as esports, environmental sustainability in sport and women's sports. We’ve designed this programme to give you a comprehensive view of the sports industry, featuring guest lectures and industry days where you will gain valuable industry insights. You will also develop business expertise, helping you as you pursue a career in the sector.

Sports-related core modules on the programme focus on areas such as exploring the complicated relationship between sport and the media, analysing the current state of play and what the potential future may look like. You will also evaluate the different experiences of sports and esports fans at events and use the theory you’ve studied to create your own sports activation or marketing campaign.
