The BA (Hons) in Sport Management at the Metropolitan College equips students with the necessary theoretical and practical knowledge in the running and management of sport organisations and is aimed at those who wish to combine their love or inclination towards sports with management skills.
On an international level, sports have become a business activity with an immense volume of investments, revenues and profits, the management of which requires people with specialised knowledge and experience. Nowadays, the sport product is no longer limited to fields and venues, but also expands to areas such as tourism, recreation, culture, education, health, local governments and entertainment.
During the Sport Management course, students are trained to be in a position to organise, guide and contribute to the realisation of events and development programmes for sports organisations and businesses, on a national and global level, in order to contribute to their growth as profitable businesses.
The course emphasises on the strategic development of sports at an economic, social and cultural level, as well as on key management principles, while always having world sports organisations as a benchmark.
Furthermore, aiming at professional integration, the course includes a full-time (supervised) work placement, which helps students gain valuable management experience and a network of contacts for future collaborations. In combination with the holistic approach of the sport industry and the related fields, this ensures professional integration in a variety of sectors and organisations (tourism, entertainment, health, education, quality of life).
