Educational aims of the programme

The aim of the MSc Sport Management is to prepare students to be professional sport management practitioners with the theoretical knowledge, skills and personal attributes to become leaders in the sport industry. Our graduates will be adaptable and reflexive sport managers, capable of filling senior management positions within the sector.

All modules will be taught and assessed in English.

The educational aims of the course are to:

• Introduce students to a range of concepts and theories that will enable them to critically analyse sport organisations, contexts and functions, both nationally and internationally.

• Allow students to develop their ability to apply knowledge and understanding of sport management to complex or difficult issues, both systematically and creatively, to improve business and management practice, including within an international context.

• Enable students to further develop analytical and decision-making skills, intercultural competencies as well as management skills and to encourage reflective practice.

Develop students’ lifelong learning skills, including engendering an enthusiasm for sport management and for learning more generally as part of continuing personal and professional development.

The course aims to develop students’ strategic thinking, effective communication and research skills, all directly relevant to employers and such skills are designed to be of great value when seeking future employment.
