Introduction
MSc in Sports Industry Management
18 months to launch your career in international sports
Learn business management specific to the sports industry
Innovation and strategic change are crucial to overcome the sports business beliefs that may have proven successful in the past, but are no longer current with modern times. Today, lifestyle, technology, government and even health meets sports. The boundaries that existed in the past have become blurry, and the MSc in Sports Industry Management (SIM) provides a global perspective of this new form of industry. It is specifically designed for you to gain the core competencies needed to effectively lead change and stand out in this dynamic, global landscape.
Develop your international vision and skills
You will learn the unique dynamics of the international sports markets and acquire the necessary specialist knowledge to succeed. International seminars, industry field trips, and study abroad opportunities in different countries are just some of the ways that you will fully immerse yourself in the multicultural needs of global businesses.
Work hand-in-hand with industry experts to meet the needs of recruiters
In-company business projects, expert panels and internships are a few examples of ways you will learn both the hard and soft skills required to take the lead and ensure success. This program was developed in partnership with internationally-renowned sports and outdoor industry experts who provide their exclusive insight and knowledge because to work in this industry, you must learn to adapt, understand how to turn data into results, and find ways to always add value... passion for sports alone is no longer enough.
