Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Sport Management

​The BSc (Hons) Sport Management degree at Cardiff Met will enable students to develop the critical understanding, professional knowledge, skills and attitudes needed to take up a managerial position in the ever expanding sport and activity industry. This could be in leadership roles associated with researching the contemporary issues and challenges associated with modern sport; developing and delivering community sport and activity; developing and managing appropriate structures and environments for elite sport and also the governance and administration of sport at a national and international level, in the modern era.

An essential component of being able to achieve this will be through gaining an understanding of how sport is run from a global perspective and an appreciation of the sport consumer as both a fan and a participant. Students will also be afforded the opportunity to explore a wide range of management areas associated with making sport happen. These include finance, human resources, operations, events, media, communications and marketing.

Students will be helped to understand and establish the guiding principles of what it means to be a manager in the industry today. Concepts such as quality, strategy and policy will be explored alongside their own personal and professional development; this will be through a sporting context but delivered in manner that will enable them to transfer their knowledge and skills into other sectors. The Sport Management degree will provide students with a well-defined, contemporary foundation on which they can build their career.​
