BSc (Hons) Sport Management (with Foundation Year)

Over the past five years, the business of sport had become a £20 billion-a-year industry in the UK, supporting some 450,000 jobs. From the Premier League to the Women’s Cricket World Cup, sport builds into a global and expanding industry. As such, the world of sport provides not only potentially lucrative opportunities but also a diverse and rewarding context within which to apply your business and marketing skills.

Our Sport Management course focuses on current issues such as the growth and importance of sponsorship, the building of the sports brand in its many guises, and a critical analysis of the use of digital channel distribution. It also takes an in-depth look at innovation in products and stadia and the power of social media, underpinned by a strong understanding of business and marketing principles and practice.
