The Sport Management education is suitable for those who want to work administratively in sport, in public or private sector.
The Sport Management courses are aimed to stimulate critical and analytical thinking for sport managers working in public as well as sports organizations. The courses build on courses in leadership, management and organizational theory in the second year at NSSS.
