Are you interested in sport and how the law impacts an industry that operates around the world? This course is for both recent graduates, in law and related subjects, and professionals seeking diverse career opportunities in the world of sports law and sport governance.
During this course, well address some of the key contemporary legal issues in international sport. This will include a wide range of commercial and governance topics as well as sports organisations human rights responsibilities. Weve designed the course so that it deals with emerging issues, meaning youll apply your learning to major international sporting events, such as the Olympic Games, FIFA World Cup, the Commonwealth Games and the Cricket World Cup, and the developments happening alongside your studies.
Youll learn from a team of experts in sports law. Plus, with our wider connections to the Universitys Sports Policy Unit and the Institute of Sport, youll also have access to industry links and expertise across the sporting world and be able to attend enriching sessions and networking opportunities.
Career prospects
There's a wide range of career opportunities that follow this course. If you're joining the course from a legal background (either an undergraduate law degree or from working as a solicitor or barrister), you might want to explore roles such as a general counsel in a sports organisation, a competition or a club. You might also want a more rounded experience to pursue opportunities like becoming the president of an association.
For those with a non-legal background, you could explore roles in a governing body or international federation. You might not be the one practising law, but youll have the crucial understanding of how regulatory frameworks apply, so youll be able to work alongside legal professionals to manage challenges within your organisation.
If youre already working in the world of international sport, this course will give you the context of how the law operates and what you need to be aware of when facing legal challenges. This will strengthen your knowledge and give you the confidence to apply for more senior positions.
Alternatively, you could choose the academic route and pursue your own cutting-edge research in sports law and governance.
Youll need a UK honours degree – at least a 2:2 – in law or a related humanities, social science or business discipline, or the international equivalent.
Alternatively, a Graduate Diploma in Law/Common Professional Examination (at least a 2:2); non-UK professional exemption or graduate conversion equivalent; or a related postgraduate diploma or degree.
