COURSE DESCRIPTION
With south-east Queensland set to host the Summer Olympic Games in 2032, there has never been a better time to consider a career in sport management.
The sport industry is already a major contributor to Australia’s economic growth and that will be supercharged over the next decade as new opportunities arise in sport development, facilities management, event management, sponsorships, sports communication, law, marketing and so much more.
Notably, many of these opportunities are likely to be styled for the gig economy, where ‘management by projects’ is becoming the norm. Whether you are working as a consultant or permanent staffer, tasks are increasingly delivered on a project basis by interdisciplinary teams headed by leaders who not only have expertise in their chosen field but a suite of people management, time management, and design thinking skills.
All of which is exactly why a postgraduate qualification in project management is the ideal extension to supercharge your Master of Sport Management studies.
Having dual Sport Management and Project Management qualifications will help you stand out and significantly expand your career options, adding extra value to potential roles in the sport management sector.
Studying these two in-demand degrees at the same time also represents a significant cost saving compared to studying the two degrees separately.
The Master of Sport Management / Master of Project Management has been designed to equip students with the expertise in the planning, implementation and management of sporting projects and programs. The combination degree explores the professional challenges and opportunities for managers in the complex international sporting landscape from a grassroots level to elite professional sports organisations and events. The addition of project management skills enables graduates to access more strategic positions in their organisations and to be responsible for overseeing new initiatives involving the management of scope, time, cost and risk. The program is designed to enhance the career opportunities of established professionals, as well as assist individuals aspiring to develop a career in this unique sector.
Where will your degree take you?
The world of sport is always fast paced, with managers juggling several projects with competing deadlines at once. A dual degree in sport management and project management will equip professionals with the knowledge, skills, and tools to strategically manage and effectively deliver and implement projects in this field. Graduates of this program may find employment opportunities in the government, community, private and not-for-profit sectors including government, sport, tourism and recreation services, sport venue management, sport advertising, media relations, sponsorship, and marketing.
Graduate outcomes
This dual degree program is specifically designed to develop leaders in the sporting world, who use creative thought, event expertise and strategic management to transform the sporting industry.
Program learning outcomes
Program Learning Outcomes provide a broad and measurable set of standards that incorporate a range of knowledge, skills and abilities that will be achieved on completion of the program. These outcomes will help you determine whether this program aligns with your professional pathway, career and learning goals.
