Overview

On this Diplomacy and Sport course from Loughborough University you’ll explore some of the pressing questions facing governments and sports organisations today. Why and how do states engage in sportswashing? What's the intersection between sovereign investment strategies and sport, and how do states use sport to enhance their position and power?

Develop your expertise and build key skills to make an impact in policy, governance or diplomacy, or any other area of this convergent field.

Career opportunities:

This master’s will set you up for a rewarding career at the intersection of sport and politics. You'll be equipped to work with community-based charities, empower individuals and groups through sport diplomacy, or contribute to the governance and regulation of sports on a national or international scale.

Your in-depth sector knowledge and work-ready skills will prepare you for roles in the civil service, NGOs, regulatory bodies and sport organisations with national and international influence.
