BA (Hons) Sport Business Management

Aimed at undergraduates who want to combine a passion for sport with professional business expertise, the BA (Hons) Sport Business Management at Leeds Beckett University covers marketing, finance, economics, strategy, events management, and digital analytics. The programme examines the professionalisation and governance of sport, explores consumer-driven change across broadcasting, licensing, and merchandising, and develops leadership skills relevant to the global sports industry. Students benefit from industry links with organisations including Leeds Rhinos, the Rugby Football League, and Leeds City Council, as well as annual employability fairs and sport volunteering opportunities.

Delivered full-time on campus at Headingley, the course runs for three years, with a placement year option available. Students may also supplement their degree with National Governing Body UK Coaching Certificates (UKCC) at levels 1 and 2. The programme is offered through Leeds Beckett's Carnegie School of Sport, an institution ranked in the QS World University Rankings top 100 for Sports-Related Subjects.
