Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Sports Business and Management

University of South Wales - Treforest

Are you passionate about a career in the business and management of sport? This degree provides the opportunity to study in the workplace of a professional organisation in this sector, thus enhancing your employment opportunities.

To study this degree you’ll need a formalised affiliation with a professional Sports club, through the English Football League Trust. Lectures are produced by USW staff, but you study these materials remotely at your club's learning environment. You then attend USW up to 3-times per year for Residential Study Visits. You’re also assigned a Mentor from your club who facilitates your learning and supports the organisation of your weekly placement.

A key part of this degree is the increased amount of placement hours you will experience. You will undertake 4-8 hours per week in year 1 and 7-14 hours per week in years 2 and 3. These experiences will mainly be working within the remit of your club and will give you practical experience of working within the sports business and management industry. You may also get a wider experience through opportunities at your club’s sponsors and partners.
