Program Overview

International sponsorship and corporate competition have transformed sports into a multibillion-euro industry. International sports have set trends and redefined boundaries in international politics and cross-cultural communication, as well as trademark rights and financial models. This field requires professionals with specific sports management skills combined with deep business and financial understanding. Students acquire specific skills to meet the challenges of this competitive environment through courses in negotiation, sponsorship and broadcasting, among others.
Students may choose to study either the six-semester program (option 1) with 210 ECTS or the seven-semester program (option 2) with 240 ECTS.

Bachelor's (título propio) + BA (Hons) in Business Management
This is a seven-semester, three-year program with 240 ECTS. The first-year core courses provide students with a solid base in all fundamental business areas. Specialization subjects are incorporated in the third, fourth and fifth semesters. In the third year, students focus on business management to equip them with key managerial concepts, theories and tools necessary for any business field. Upon the successful completion of two final cases and a dis­sertation, students earn a university-specific bachelor’s degree (título propio) awarded by Universidad Católica San Antonio de Murcia (UCAM), Spain, and a Certificate of Specialization in one of the seven majors from EU Business School Switzerland. In addition students are awarded a state-recognized BA (Hons) in Business Management from the University of Derby, U.K. To earn these degree titles, students study in a hybrid learning environment.

As well as opening doors in the business job market, this option is recommended for students wishing to do grad­uate or post-graduate studies at a public university and/or work in the public sector.
