About this program

The Master of Sport Management at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) equips students with advanced skills to understand and navigate the dynamic sport business sector. Delivered in the heart of Sydney, this programme examines the principles of sport administration, strategic management, marketing, law, event management and organisational leadership. It addresses the evolving needs of the Australian and global sports industries, providing the foundational and specialist knowledge essential for leadership and managerial roles.

This course is structured over 1.5 years of full-time study and is made up of units of study, each assigned credit points as defined by UTS. Students engage with real-world scenarios through case studies and industry projects, benefitting from UTS’s strong industry links and proximity to major sporting venues and associations in Sydney. The programme may also include a capstone project or a work-integrated learning component, giving students practical exposure and networking opportunities with sports organisations.

Throughout the course, students develop critical skills in business analysis, event and facility management, stakeholder engagement, ethical leadership, and strategic planning specific to the sport sector. The curriculum is suitable for those seeking to launch or enhance a career in sport management, as well as professionals already working in related fields who wish to upskill or specialise further. International applicants must demonstrate English proficiency via an accepted test, meeting the university's published standards.

The Master of Sport Management is ideally suited for graduates who aspire to work in the business side of sport, whether managing teams, events, facilities, or promoting sustainable growth within sporting organisations. Students may work up to 48 hours per fortnight while undertaking their studies and become eligible for post-study work rights under Australia’s Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485).
