Course summary
Studying our Sport Business Management degree provides you with an exciting pathway into a career within the world of sport. This course focuses on the application of business principles to the sports industry and will equip you with skills and knowledge in areas of marketing, finance, leadership, management and operations within the context of sports organisations, teams and events. You will also have the chance to develop your entrepreneurial skills by having the chance to develop your own business idea. The course utilises authentic assessments to give you the opportunity to work directly with sports organisations and play a part in solving their real-world problems. These experiences can support you in a range of potential careers, with some of our previous students having gone on to work with organisations such as McLaren, England Cricket Board and Sport England. Foundation Year courses have been designed for students who do not have the necessary academic qualifications needed to enter directly into the first year of a degree but who have the ability and commitment to do so. Once the Foundation Year has been completed successfully, you can then go on to complete your degree.
