Course Description:

'' Management of the sports economy is an interesting and comparatively new area of study. The approach is multi-disciplinary, requiring an appreciation of management functions such as finance, marketing and human resource management, all applied to the sports industry and also other areas, such as the contrast between professional team sports and local voluntary sports clubs.

Many of the skills developed are transferable, not only within the diverse sport and leisure industries, but also across the whole of the expanding service sector, which accounts for over two-thirds of employment in the UK and is growing internationally.


The Sport and Recreation Management MSc has been designed to appeal to people interested in

starting a career in sport-related organisations;
those already working in the sector who wish to improve their management qualifications;
and those who want to make a career change.
The programme applies management principles to a wide range of practical situations; thus providing a bridge between theory and practice to improve student employability. They develop core functional management skills, enhance problem-solving capabilities, encourage the development of key personal skills, and allow the development of specialist interests while also taking advantage of synergy with teaching in a research-led management school. These objectives are pursued in an applied context which is delivered with an emphasis on student-centred learning and opportunities for individual student choice.
