Overview
Sports Business MSc is one of the routes we place students on most often, and it is offered widely enough that there is usually a fit whatever your profile looks like. It is a 1 year postgraduate programme, so the pace is quick and the dissertation carries real weight.
Teaching in Sports Business pairs the science with the business side of the sector. We currently work with 38 universities on this course across 28 cities.
The lowest English requirement we hold on this course is IELTS 6.0, and departments asking more than that usually expect a stronger academic record too. Tuition ranges from £17.000 to £35.500 a year depending on the department, which is a real difference over the length of the course.
Send us your transcript and we will tell you honestly which of these you are a realistic candidate for, and which are worth an application anyway.
