Course Overview

The Sport Management MSc programme explores the multi-faceted area of sport management, combining specialist sports modules with practical experience in the industry. You will develop the skills to excel in a broad range of roles that make sports organisations and events happen, including within governing bodies, federations, clubs, sponsors, marketing, the media, government, or heritage organisations.

This course is ideal for individuals with a degree in sport (science, psychology, and other sports disciplines), event management, marketing, media, business or humanities who wish to have a career in the sports industry. 

You will explore a range of different sports and develop a critical perspective on contemporary themes such as ethical considerations, heritage, and sport’s political, social, economic and cultural contexts. Areas of management that you will examine include marketing, leadership, governance, and event organisation.

Practical experience working within a sports organisation is embedded into the programme and you will also be encouraged to volunteer at local, national, and international sporting events. We have excellent industry links and previous students have worked with Leicester Tigers, Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club, Leicester Riders’ Basketball Club and USA Bobsled and Skeleton and at the IAAF Indoor World Championships, British Rowing Indoor Championships, British Triathlon events and British Swimming Championships. Your learning will be enriched by DMU Global, where students have previously visited the Munich Olympic Park, Garmisch-Partenkirchen ski jump, and Allianz Arena.
