Mobility tracks and degrees
The graduate programme grants 120 ECTS, with a training delivered over four semesters.
The mobility scheme is organised to provide the student with the maximum flexibility in his decision-making process. For this, we offer two professional tracks (specialisations) covering the two years of the Master programme.
Following the first semester, students need to define their career plan and their mobility scheme: (1) Sport industry and (2) Leisure, Sport and Event management. Each track has a sub-programme dedicated to digitalisation, fitting with the labour market needs and future employment trends. The two tracks were elaborated in accordance with the academic specialisation of each university and the link of each partner with the professional environment.
Joint events including a summer school and an integration week
At the beginning of the Master programme, all students will be welcomed in one University (Lille in 2022) and participate to a joint one-week event including a summer school, inspiring conferences/visits and social/cultural events. During this joint one-week event, all students and teachers will have direct opportunities to meet each other, creating links from the very beginning.
Special events will be organised in order to promote interactions between students, professors, invited scholars and lecturers from industry, specially invited to provide courses/lectures in their expertise domains. These events will be perfect opportunities for students to start building their network.
A unique professionally oriented Master programme
All students will spend their first semester at the University of Lille with a common track. The courses will cover technical aspects of sports management, finance and methods, within an economic and legal perspective frame. The knowledge-transfer process will develop the necessary skills of the attendants for a successful career in the international sports administration sector
In order to provide all students with a strong fundamental background in Sports Management, the first semester consists of five core modules. The content has been jointly co-designed by the partners and enables the students to choose the relevant partner universities in the following semesters. This first semester is a must for future professional sport administrators and volunteers sitting on the management boards of professional or amateur sport organisation boards.
