About this program

The Master of Sport Management at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) is designed for those seeking advanced expertise in the business and governance of sport. This course explores the management, marketing, events, governance, and ethical dimensions of sport organisations within Australian and global contexts. Students examine the interplay between sport and sectors such as media, sponsorship, and community, equipping them to address real-world challenges in the dynamic sporting industry.

Structured over 1.5 years of full-time study, this master's degree typically involves trimesters or semesters, with students completing a series of core and elective units of study that carry credit points. The curriculum balances theoretical knowledge with practical application, emphasising areas like strategic management, event planning, leadership, and the legal landscape of sport. Many Australian sport management programmes, including this one, integrate opportunities for work-integrated learning or professional placements, allowing students to gain hands-on experience and industry contacts.

Graduates from this course develop skills in organisational leadership, commercial acumen, stakeholder management, risk assessment, and policy formation as relevant to the sports sector. The programme is well suited to professionals looking to advance or pivot their careers in sport management, those with a passion for sport seeking to build specialist business skills, and international students drawn to Australia's prominent sporting landscape and lively industry connections.
