Business Management in Sport MSc at De Montfort University

The Business Management in Sport MSc is a programme that will explore the evolving and multi-faceted area of the management in sport through core modules from business and bespoke sport modules. In addition, the programme focuses on ethical considerations, major competitions, sports marketing, heritage and sport’s political, social, economic, and cultural contexts.

This course is ideal for individuals who hold a degree in sport (management, science, or other sport disciplines), event management, marketing, media, business or the humanities and are looking to begin a career or are in the early stages of a career in the sporting industry.

During this course, you will develop knowledge of sport management on local, national, international and global levels to prepare for a career in the sector.

There are also ways for you to tailor your university experience to your interests. You will have opportunities to get involved with a DMzzU Global experience and choose a language study option. Amongst the global opportunities within the Sport Heritage module students will visit historical sport sites. Previous students have visited sites such as the Munich Olympic Park, the Garmisch-Partenkirchen ski jump, and Allianz Arena in Germany.

In addition, as well as gaining experience working directly within a sport organisation through the Sport Fieldwork Experience, you will also have the opportunity to gain further experience directly with a sport business or organization through the Executive Company Project if selected as the final research project.
