Course summary

The equivalent of the first two years of a degree, the Higher National Diploma in Motorsport Management gives you an understanding of the technical side of motorsport while introducing key elements of business management. This combination of practical and academic learning enables you to graduate with an industry-recognised qualification or progress directly onto the final year of the full degree programme. On this course, you’ll develop a mix of business, technical, and industry-specific skills tailored to the world of racing and automotive sports. You’ll study areas such as sports marketing, event management, sponsorship, and team operations, while also exploring motorsport regulations, governance, and the global business landscape. Practical experience forms a key part of your studies, from organising live events and working with racing teams or circuits to collaborating with sponsors and media partners. Alongside technical and management learning, you’ll also build communication, leadership, and analytical skills that prepare you for careers with motorsport teams, governing bodies, venues, and motorsport-related companies. You’ll have access to state-of-the-art specialist facilities including a rolling road, a range of racing vehicles, simulators for testing projects, and diagnostic equipment. There’s also a 24-hour computer suite dedicated to Motorsport courses. As a Motorsport Management student at UWTSD, you’ll have the opportunity to work directly with our in-house race teams, gaining valuable hands-on trackside experience in team management.
