The Bachelor of Business (Honours) in Sport Management (with international placement) is the only sports business degree in Ireland which guarantees an international placement. We work with students to find rewarding and challenging experiences overseas which will help them develop into leaders and innovators in the sport industry. Post-certification, successful students will have opportunities to work in diverse roles within the sport and leisure industry. You will be offered a range of industry-based skills and accreditation from the Register of Exercise Professionals (REPS) endorsed fitness instructor, The Royal Life Saving Society UK (RLSS UK) and a Pre-Hospital Emergency Care Councils (PHECC) First Aid Responder qualification. You will have the opportunity to use the skills you learn and the competencies you develop in work placements that are an integral part of this course.
