The increasing social, economic and political role of sport is a key feature of life in the 21st century.

Students gain an understanding of key concepts invaluable for employment and critical engagement across all sport sectors.
Recognising that sport managers operate in a highly politicised environment, the programme reviews the role of government policy in shaping sporting opportunities and sport’s contribution to social policy agendas.
