ULSTER University Business School’s MSc in Sport Management has been given a top global rating by SportBusiness International in its 2017 Postgraduate Course Rankings.
The 12-month full-time programme, led by Dr Robert Kerr and Dr Paul Kitchin at Jordanstown, was ranked in the Top 20 Global list and also claimed 6th place in the Top European Post-Graduate Sports Business Courses. In both lists the Business School was the only provider in the UK to be ranked.
SportsBusiness Group, a leading provider of data and analysis in the sports sector, created the rankings from over 1,000 submissions from across the world and courses were assessed based on the overall quality of the student education, taking into account the quality of course content; the standard of teaching; the number and standing of guest speakers; the provision and quality of work placements / internships; and the programme of alumni support.
Course Director, Dr Robert Kerr explained: “Regarded as the most reliable and respected rankings system for postgraduate sports management courses across the world it’s a real coup to be recognised by SportsBusiness International at this level.”
