Sport and Management

“I think the thing that helped me most were the practical sessions and my time coaching through Active Schools - a programme aimed at providing more sporting opportunities before, during and after the school day. All the research we were asked to do and the weekly activities also helped open my eyes to the other sides of sport. The versatility of the courses and experience of the tutors also helped to shape my way of looking at things. “

Keen to uncover what makes sport tick? Interested in the principles of management? Ready to explore the relationship between the two? This degree gives you the best of both worlds, making you a highly desirable candidate for high-level sports clubs seeking business-savvy graduates.

We prepare you for a management career in sports. You’ll be equipped with the skills required to manage sporting facilities, including financial, human resource, sporting expertise, marketing and service operations.

BA (Hons) Sport and Management

We aim to give you an understanding of the management, social and practical skills required in the burgeoning sports industry, with a focus on social policy, ethics and the philosophy of sport, as well as the context of business and management of services, people, and the sporting environment. Work placements are a key feature of this programme, and employability is embedded throughout. Some of our students have undertaken work placements within national governing bodies and with Dundee Stars, the city’s elite Ice Hockey League team. Practical activities and work placements will enable you to apply theory to real life and work towards NGB or industry qualifications.
