About the Degree

Companies in the sports and event sector operate in complex markets. Their customers are spectators as well as advertisers and sponsors. At the same time, some athletes and artists are club employees as well as assets which can be bought and sold. In the entertainment industries, audiences’ tastes sometimes clash with cultural objectives and values. Businesses in the sports and event sector need managers with special knowledge of these issues that enable them to manage companies to competitive advantage.
The programme combines courses on the entertainment industry and sports governance with advanced management and marketing courses. It also offers courses in strategy and competition, project and innovation management, and relevant methodologies.   
The Master has four semesters over two years. In the third semester, students have the opportunity to participate in an exchange programme with a partner university or pursue a relevant internship in Denmark or abroad.
