MSc Sport Management & The Business of Football

Birkbeck's MSc Sport Management and the Business of Football is designed for those seeking to build expertise across sport and football business management, governance, regulatory affairs, economics, and strategy. The programme suits executives at professional football clubs, governing bodies, and media organisations, as well as supporters' organisation representatives, government officials with sport responsibilities, and graduates seeking a platform for a career in the football industry.

Delivered on campus at Birkbeck's central London campus, the course follows an evening timetable — two to three evenings per week for full-time students, one to two evenings for part-time students, running October to July. It is available over one year full-time or two years part-time. Successful graduates earn an MSc awarded by the University of London. The programme is linked to the Birkbeck Sport Business Centre and draws on visiting speakers from football clubs, regulatory authorities, and the legal profession.
