About
This course provides students with the opportunity to target employment opportunities within upper management in the sport industry. Target roles include positions at the General Manager, Director or Executive Officer level.
The course has been developed following extensive consultation to provide a post-graduate education that aligns with industry requirements and expectation. Academics teaching on this course combine post-graduate education in a relevant field with extensive experience working in sports. The emphasis is on providing authentic student experience, which equips students with the knowledge and skills to be ‘job ready’ for a management position in sport.
This course may be suitable for:
- Professionals already working in the sport industry looking for additional education to improve their career prospects
- Professionals from other industries who want to switch to a career in sport
- People currently working in sport, such as athletes or coaches, who may not have the necessary qualifications for management roles
- Directors or committee members of sport organisations who want to enhance their skills to better contribute to their organisation.
The course can be completed in less than three months via full-time online study, with part-time study also an option, to assist students in balancing work or other commitments. Each unit will run over a 10-week period (a session). The course is delivered fully online, providing flexibility to tailor your study to your individual timetables. Academics will also be available for one-to-one discussion and support.
