BA (Hons) Sport and Management

Study BA (Hons) Sport and Management at Scotland’s Top Modern University for teaching and overall student satisfaction (NSS 2023).

Do you have an interest in how the world of sport works? Does a role in management and governance appeal to you? Ready to explore the relationship between the two? This Sport and Management degree gives you the best of both worlds, making you a highly desirable candidate for the national and international sport governing bodies as well as providing you with the skills and knowledge to strike out on your own.

You’ll critically evaluate the contexts of sport and physical activity, challenging ideas and concepts using the principles of business and management. You’ll be encouraged to show initiative, research and develop your own knowledge, and apply practical skills as much as possible, arming you with the ability to have a major impact on sport and management.

You’ll focus on sport and community development, event management, and policy within the context of business, management of services, people, and the sporting environment. This includes entrepreneurship, human resources, sporting expertise, marketing and service operations. You’ll graduate equipped with everything you need to arrange large events, manage facilities, or provide direction within sport organisations.

Work placements are a key feature, and employability is embedded throughout. Practical activities and work placements help you apply theory to real-life situations, and work towards national governing body qualifications and industry recognition.

Why Dundee?

Dundee is going through something of a cultural rebirth.

It was named by The Wall Street Journal as one of the world’s hottest destinations, helped greatly by the £80m V&A Dundee, the stunning design museum, which opened its doors in 2018.

It’s an extremely friendly city, which is small enough to get from A to B by foot, but large enough to have great shopping and vibrant nightlife.

Dundee is a contemporary city full of energy and vision—it has one of the highest student population ratios in the UK—and it’s the perfect environment for a sport and management student to learn their trade.
