Sports Management
Study the organisational and business side of sport — from operations and events to stakeholders, audiences and commercial decisions.
Three academic levels.
Sport is also an organisational system with operations, audiences and commercial choices.
Sports Management connects the sporting context with management, events, organisations and stakeholder relationships. It focuses on how sport is organised and managed rather than on athletic training.
Events, venues & delivery
Understand how sporting organisations coordinate activities, resources and event operations.
Revenue, audiences & partnerships
Examine the commercial and audience-facing decisions that shape sport organisations.
Teams, communities & organisations
Look at the relationships between sporting bodies, participants, partners and wider communities.
