Sport is a global and expanding industry, that unites commercial, public and third sector stakeholders, offering an exciting opportunity for graduates that understand the sports industry, in addition to the business, finance and management sectors.
Our BSc Sports Management degree is co-taught by the School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences (currently ranked 1st in the world for sports-related subjects) and the School of Business and Economics (one of the UK's leading business schools) to equip you with vital skills in marketing, organisational management, and accounting. The degree will provide you with a thorough grounding in the key strategic challenges and opportunities for sport by developing your understanding of sports organisations, sport governance, sport policy, sport marketing and sport economics.
Your Sports Management degree at Loughborough involves five strands:
1. There is an employability and research skills strand that allows you to experience practical sport management in your degree and provides you with the academic skills to engage in sustained independent research and study.
2, 3, and 4. Three further strands explore the social and policy environment in which sport management takes place, developing your understanding of economics and marketing in sport management, and examining the strategic and organisational elements of sport management.
5. The final strand of our Sports Management degree provides optional modules that allow you to study the wider coaching, social and physical activity contexts that influence sport management.
