Based at Hope Park, this degree blends business, leadership and sport ‑ specific knowledge to help you understand how modern sport is managed in an increasingly digital and global world. You’ll learn how clubs, governing bodies, community organisations and commercial sport brands make decisions, develop strategies and create impact. With opportunities for work placements, volunteering and industry engagement, you’ll gain real experience that employers value. Small ‑ group teaching means you’re supported personally, helping you build confidence, communication skills and professional awareness.
