Sport is a truly global and rapidly expanding industry that unites commercial, public and third-sector stakeholders. The master's in Sport Management gives students the skills and knowledge to work in this exciting arena.
The MSc in Sport Management programme is co-taught by the School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences (currently ranked 1st in the world for sport-related subjects, QS World University Rankings by Subject 2021) and the School of Business and Economics (a triple accredited and leading UK business school).
Loughborough University's teaching is informed by internationally leading research and will develop students' skills in marketing, policy and legal analysis, organisational management, finance and accounting. It will also provide thorough analysis of the key strategic challenges facing sport, and the impact of sport on wider society.
Key study areas include: global sport marketing and media, sport policy governance and regulation, economics of innovation in the sport industry, management of human resources, research methods and skills for sport managers, accounting, strategic management, and more. Students will also address topics such as professional sport marketing strategies, new sport policies, and the governance of sport federations.
With strong links between the School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences and various sport management practitioners across the UK, Loughborough University hosts guest speakers who present relevant insights and provide opportunities for students to expand their network across the sport industry.
This programme has a broad appeal. It will interest students with a background in sport who want to learn about the business side of the sector, but will equally appeal to students with some business and management knowledge who want to specialise in the particularities of the sport industry.
