Sport Management placements

On-site and virtual placements give international students on our MSc Sport Management programme project-based experience within the management of sport in a professional environment. Students can complete a substantial project for your organisation over the placement period. We suggest providing a starting project, but as the placement goes on there may be other duties or projects the student is asked to complete as well. Providing a central project creates structure for the placement and gives the student (and organisation) a tangible goal.

You can take on multiple students as part of the placement. Project examples may include, but are not limited to: preparing a report on, for example, organisational structure or governance (including changes thereto or alternatives); contributing to the development of organisational strategy (e.g. marketing, social media, sponsorship) or sport strategy;  contributing to the development of a financial plan; preparing or contributing to the development of a funding application; undertaking research into sport or project funding opportunities; developing a market analysis of competitors; developing a sport strategy report; undertaking market analysis (e.g. geographical or spectator or participants); researching and/or producing social media content including podcast preparation; undertaking an event feasibility study.
