Program Description Looking for a business management degree with a difference? The opportunity to work in sports management is a dream for anyone with a passion for sport, but students don’t have to be a sports fanatic to take this degree. One of the most exciting industries, sport and leisure in the UK alone employs 580,000 people. In 2019, more than a third of those employed in the field of sport in the EU-27 was aged between 15-29. Developed in partnership with some of London’s leading sports clubs, agencies and governing bodies, including Queens Park Rangers and the MCC at Lords, this BA includes practical, professional work experience with a sports club or agency to get work-ready. This degree provides an innovative, industry-focused programme that develops knowledge of contemporary business management within the context of the wider sports industry. Students will gain an in-depth knowledge of how the industry works. They will also learn to appreciate the internal and external challenges facing sports organisations, such as sustainability, diversity, and the impact of new technologies on sports marketing, management and customer engagement.
