Overview

The sports industry already accounts for 1% of the world’s GDP and is one of the professional sectors with the highest economic growth. This fact has favored the creation of new professions and jobs, as well as a greater specialization in the management of companies. However, in an increasingly competitive and constantly changing market, it is necessary to have better prepared professionals. The professionalization of sport requires, therefore, a constant updating of knowledge as well as management specialists who are familiar not only with the most current tools for correct decision making, but also with the specifics of the sports sector.

Classes with expert faculty closely linked to sport, are combined with master classes with exclusive guest lecturers from the world of sport management, outdoor visits (field trips) and a study trip that will enrich the experience you’ll have in Barcelona with your classmates, broadening your network of contacts in the sporting world. In addition, each module of the Master will include some hours online.

These are the main objectives of the Master in Sport Business:

To obtain a strategic vision of the sports industry from a business perspective.
