FIFPro Online Academy
In cooperation with the world player’ union in football, FIFPro, University College of Northern Denmark (UCN) offers the option of studying Sport Management online
Sport Management is a degree, where you will be able to combine your passion for sport and events with a deeper understanding for the business mechanisms within the sport- and event sector. This is for you if you would e.g. like to work within the serviceindustry or ‘behind the scenes’ in the sport-/event industry.
The Sport Management degree actually consists of two seperate degrees; first a two-year “Service, Hospitality & Tourism Management” degree with specialization in Sport & Event. Here you will gain competences within development, daily operations, coordination, management and marketing of services within sport and event. Afterwards you’ll be able to apply for the 1½ year top-up programme in Sport Management, that dives even deeper into the sport and event industry.
Notice!
- This programme is a “normal” higher education – just set up online. It is therefore free of charge for EU citizens (besides an initial application fee), whereas non-EU citizens would have to pay tuition fee.
- Primarily for football players (current or previous) – although athletes from other sports might also apply depending on the number of applicants
- Limitied number of spots in the programme
