Education
This section of the website provides information on educational courses in the general area of sports economics, sports management and related fields In light of enquiries we are receiving.
The list is not exhaustive, and the information below was gathered in an unashamedly unsophisticated manner – a Google search. Naturally, the list has more courses from Ireland and the UK. There are probably plenty of courses out there which are not on this list; these omissions are caused by nothing more than time constraints and oversights on my part. That said, the list might not be a bad starting point for anyone interested in taking up studies in sport. Only courses that have information available in English are included.
If your institute’s course is not included in the list below but would like to be or you know of other courses that would improve this list, please email; sportseconomics2013@gmail.com including the relevant details.
Please be aware that we are not endorsing or recommending any of the courses or the institutions to which they relate. These links have been provided purely for informational purposes and to help people gather information to further their education. Equally, there is no charge for including a course on this page. It is hoped that in time (and with some much needed improvement) that this page will become a good resource for those searching for a course in sport.
