Graduates from our Sports Management programme have great long-term employment prospects. You could work in coaching, help with health interventions, lead projects, or manage development teams. The programme helps you become an independent learner. You will learn how to gather information, analyse content, and make important recommendations. These skills are essential for jobs in sports management and will be developed throughout your course of studies.
We offer many experiences to help you acquire, interpret, deliver and present skills, and reflect on experiences. These experiences are designed to prepare you for real-world challenges in the sports industry. Sport can help people become healthier, boost the economy, and create employment. Events like large sports games also bring in money and improve the community’s wellbeing.
Our programme covers the scientific aspects of sport and how exercise and physical activity can improve health. You will take part in practical sessions to apply your knowledge and build your skill development. This prepares you for postgraduate study if you choose to continue your education.

The programme includes sport science topics like physiology, psychology, and nutrition. You will also learn about applied strategic business analysis, event management, and entrepreneurship.
Understanding sports industry dynamics and how to blend sport and management is key. You will explore policy, planning, management, and the delivery of sport-related services, sport-related products, and sport-related activities. You will engage with local sports organisations, national sports organisations, and international sports organisations.
