Master of Science - Sustainable Sport Business: The Master of Science - Sustainable Sport Business programme will develop students' critical understanding on how to manage the practice of sustainability, along with insights into broader economic, social, environmental and policy issues in sport. Through a series of insightful lectures, seminars, tutorials and practice-based learning by doing projects, they will investigate the socio-economic and environmental aspects of sustainability and its practice. They will also be exposed to some of the latest opportunities and challenges confronting sport organisations at a global, national and local level. They will learn how to connect theory with practice by attending facility tours at London sport organisations and participating in project-based work with the esteemed partners. Previous sustainability projects have seen their work with Formula E, Wimbledon, the R&A, Union Cycliste Internationale, and the United Nations Environment Programme.jnkjk
