Sports Businesses are a growing and dynamic sector of the World economy, playing an ever-increasing role in the quality of people’s lives. There is demand for talented, well-equipped professionals in this field, who can help deliver high quality sports services and products.

This industry-approved qualification builds upon the excellent reputation that the University of Worcester has in both undergraduate and postgraduate sport-related courses.
