What will you learn?
The mission of the Bachelor's degree programme in Sport Management is to provide students with a discipline-specific education that focuses on developing and supporting competencies to apply knowledge from the fields of kinanthropology, economics and management to the specific environment of sport.
The primary goal of the program is to prepare students to work in management positions in sport. The curriculum should provide students with the space to acquire theoretical knowledge and skills in the field of sport as it is practiced in a European and global context. Within the framework of the study, students will be introduced to economic, managerial, sport-specific and social topics necessary to meet the demands of a dynamically developing sport sector. An important part of the educational process will also be the implementation of internships with external entities in the field of sport as well as direct confrontation with the environment of sports management through lectures and seminars led by experts from practice.
Practical training
The practice of the Bachelor's professionally oriented study programme Sport Management will be a core part of the curriculum. This essential content of the study programme will lead to the linking of knowledge gained through theoretical teaching with practical application in the field of sport. Students will be placed in sports clubs and other sports organisations where they will test the theoretical knowledge acquired during their studies in practical conditions. Under the guidance of experienced managers and didacticians, students will solve specific tasks that are part of everyday practice. Practical training will also include ongoing reflection on the practice aimed at providing information on the students' managerial and didactic skills and abilities.
Practicum experiences will be conducted continuously in each of the designated semesters so that the student is familiar with the year-long work of a manager.
The managerial internships will consist of the following courses spread over four semesters.
Preparation for the internship taking place in the 2nd semester
Professional Practice 1, taking place in Semester 3, totalling 160 hours
Professional Practice 2, taking place in Semester 4, totalling 160 hours

The student will have the opportunity to complete in a selected sports institution activities that are the content of the year-round work of sports club management. The individual internships will focus on the financial management of the sports organization, human resources, marketing and fundraising and event management.
