Master of Sport Management (Extension)

The Master of Sport Management (Extension) at the University of Technology Sydney is designed for those aiming to lead and innovate in the dynamic Australian and international sport sectors. Over two years of full-time study in Sydney, students explore core areas such as strategy, governance, marketing, event management, and sports law, while gaining advanced skills in business administration specific to sport. The programme deepens expertise with additional elective choices and research options, allowing students to tailor their learning towards areas like sport analytics, athlete management, facility operations, or community sport development.

Within the Australian qualification framework (AQF), this master's degree comprises a defined number of units of study, each carrying credit points towards completion. Students may have the opportunity to engage in a capstone project, research thesis, or internship, providing valuable work-integrated learning and linking in with industry leaders and organisations in Australia’s sport sector. This hands-on approach is particularly relevant in a country renowned for its professional sport leagues, major sporting events, and active sports culture.

Graduates develop advanced capabilities in project management, leadership, stakeholder engagement, strategic planning, ethical decision-making, and communication, positioning them for influential roles across sporting organisations and businesses. The course suits recent graduates of business, sport management, or related fields, as well as professionals seeking career progression or a move into the sport industry. International students benefit from Australia's robust industry connections, and are eligible for up to 48 hours of paid work per fortnight during study, plus can explore the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) post-graduation subject to meeting eligibility criteria.
