MA in Sport ManagementTaught within Wembley Stadium from September 2015

We are delighted to announce the launch of our Masters Degree in Sport Management taught within Wembley Stadium, London, the spiritual home of English football and sport.

This unique programme encompasses the central functions of corporate, senior and operational management including financial management, governance, corporate strategy, strategic marketing and leadership.

The specificity of sport, with its high media coverage and numerous stakeholders, requires managers to have uniquely honed business skills and an in-depth knowledge of the principles of sports management. The MA in Sport Management has therefore been developed for those with aspirations towards senior or line management positions within the core functional departments of the sports management industry.

The MA in Sport Management is suitable for graduates of all disciplines and for professionals working within the sports industry, in management, marketing, operations or other appropriate area, and who wish to build on that experience through a structured programme of study.

Research projects will be undertaken with an external organisation. UCFB has a wide portfolio of industry contacts who provide opportunities for short term placements and projects for postgraduate students. These include, but are not limited to, leading organisations such as Wembley Stadium, The Football Association, The Scottish Professional Football League, Prozone, Green4Solutions, Aon Sports, The Rugby Football League, League Football Clubs and Orlando City Soccer Club.
