This module is contextualised within the broad sport management industry and covers a range of major events and sports. It's the first and important step in developing your ability to independently challenge and research the sport industry. The delivery of the module will take a number of formats. Basic principles will be introduced using traditional style lectures and these will be developed using workshops, exercises and case studies. You'll also be required to carry out a certain amount of practical work in your own time such as collecting and evaluating information from a variety of sources such as books, academic journals, newspapers and the web.
Community sport is the mass participation base on which the sporting system in the UK is based. As such the aim of this module is to consider the nature and content of the development of sport in the UK. There will be specific attention paid to the use of sport in addressing social, economic, and political agendas at local and national level. In order to fully understand the importance of community sport, you'll study community based interventions which have specific aims and objectives in the local community.

The teaching and learning strategy is designed to be interactive and participative, where you'll be encouraged to engage in discussions with their peers and the module co-ordinator and be able to provide leadership and to support the success of others. This module allows you to develop an analytical and reflective knowledge and understanding of their subject, think independently, analytically and creatively, and engage imaginatively with new areas of investigation within and across discipline boundaries within Sport Management.

You'll be provided with the opportunity to explore ideas in more depth and apply theories and academic scholarship to real-life case studies of sport business planning and communicate effectively in a range of different forms and to different audiences. Through real-life business case studies, you'll develop an enterprising spirit, bringing innovation and productivity to the groups and communities to which they belong.
You'll also be encouraged to access and engage in emerging digital technologies, such as 'live' discussion forums, to engender a community of shared practice and understanding of academic scholarship in relation to contemporary real-life sports business marketing and branding examples.
Globalisation has played a pivotal role in reshaping the production and consumption dynamics of sports.

It introduces a three-sector model encompassing public, nonprofit, and professional sports, accompanied by a concise overview of the essential aspects of the management environment for sports organisations.

Topics covered include: Competitive balance in sporting contests, demand for live events, cross subsidisation between leagues, match outcome forecasting, financial sustainability, return on investment, streams of income, corruption, and governance.
The sports industry is complex with many disciplines such as operational management, strategic management, sports events, marketing, and economics and finance. These disciplines pose challenges for managers and human resource professionals. Consequently, the aim of this module is to understand the components of human resources and the affect of employment relationships on the future growth and sustainability of sports organisations.
Every sports organisation face their own challenges within their business whether that be linked to staffing, organisational structure, or a changing landscape. This module will provide knowledge of human resources and prepare you for future employment by applying theoretical concepts to solve problems within a sport organisation.

For your assessment, you'll be required to work within a group to develop and propose a plan to rectify an issue, with a short time frame.

Formative assessment will prepare you for the summative assessment through creating a proposal and presenting it to your peers and providing feedback.
Assess entrepreneurial opportunities and develop a business model as part of a venture creation project, working as part of a team.
Produce creative solutions that benefit the economy and society as you reflect on your personal entrepreneurial skills and emerging identity, considering entrepreneurship as a career option.
As a growing sector of the global economy the sports industry presents businesses, governments, national governing bodies and not for profit organisations with significant opportunities. However, in unlocking the potential of sport, professionals working within the industry have to be able to demonstrate strategic vision and leadership coupled with the ability to work innovatively with others to solve issues and be reactive to an evolving market. This module aims to draw on all elements of prior study within the programme and allow your to demonstrate your ability to show strategic leadership and innovative and collaborative team working.
Split into two component parts, the module will firstly address the principles of strategic management and leadership and critically examine the global context and current challenges within the private, public and not-for-profit sectors when applied to sport. You'll also have an opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of your personal and professional characteristics and how you can work with others to develop strong working relationships and successful teams to address strategic issues.
In the second part of the module you'll complete a strategic planning exercise in the field of sport management, under supervision from a subject expert and a mentor within industry. This will be a summation not just of this module but also of the prior studies that you have completed up to this point. You'll be supported with lectures and workshops and practical sessions in order to explore theoretical concepts and academic scholarship. Theory will also be grounded in real-life experience of collaborative team building, leadership in order to achieve strategic goals.

How you'll spend your time
One of the main differences between school or college and university is how much control you have over your learning.
We use a blended learning approach to teaching, which means you’ll take part in both face-to-face and online activities during your studies. As well as attending your timetabled classes you'll study independently in your free time, supported by staff and our virtual learning environment, Moodle.
A typical week
In your first year, you’ll be in timetabled teaching activities such as tutorials, lectures, seminars and practical classes and workshops for about 27 hours a week. The rest of the time you’ll do independent study such as research, reading, coursework and project work, alone or in a group with others from your course. You'll probably do more independent study and have less scheduled teaching in years 2 and 3, but this depends on which modules you choose.
Most timetabled teaching takes place during the day, Monday to Friday. You may occasionally need to go to University and course events in the evenings and at weekends.
Term dates
The academic year runs from September to June. There are breaks at Christmas and Easter.
Supporting you
The amount of timetabled teaching you'll get on your degree might be less than what you're used to at school or college, but you'll also get support via video, phone and face-to-face from teaching and support staff to enhance your learning experience and help you succeed. You can build your personalised network of support from the following people and services:
Types of support
Your personal tutor helps you make the transition to independent study and gives you academic and personal support throughout your time at university.
As well as regular scheduled meetings with your personal tutor, they're also available at set times during the week if you want to chat with them about anything that can't wait until your next meeting.
You'll have help from a team of faculty learning support tutors. They can help you improve and develop your academic skills and support you in any area of your study.
They can help with:
- improving your academic writing (for example, essays, reports, dissertations)
- understanding and using assignment feedback
- managing your time and workload
