Course presentation and objectives

The Master’s Degree in Sports Management (LM47), trains experts in the field of organization, management and marketing of sports and motor activities and professionals capable of obtaining a sports agent license.

After a first year of common educational activities, it is divided into two curricula geared toward training two different professional profiles:

managerial curriculum
legal curriculum

The objectives of the training course are divided into the following content areas:

sports management and organization
sports marketing and communication
sports economics and management
sports law
governance in sports
practical experiences and sports management

Objectives also include the integration of acquisitions of sports and motor sciences with related economic, legal and psycho-sociological sciences to provide more appropriate tools and methodologies for high-level institutional and professional communication, as well as technical knowledge for the management of sports facilities.

Given that the specific training objectives, due to their complexity and novelty, require specialized and diversified skills, the course makes use of supplementary teachings or individual teaching modules, aimed at in-depth study and professional qualification in the field of management and sports law, adapting to specific needs, which may emerge over time from the demand for work.

Final Exam
Students, who have regularly attended the educational activities of the master’s degree program in Sport Management and have earned the 120 CFUs required by the educational regulations, may apply for admission to the final examination.

The final examination consists of a written dissertation, which may be written in Italian or in a foreign language, of about 60-80 pages, on a topic assigned to the candidate, with his or her consent, in a discipline chosen by him or her from among those in the course of study.

The evaluation of the final examination is made by a committee of not less than 7 members and involves the awarding of a score of up to a maximum of 6 points, calculated in consideration of the following criteria:

Skills and ability for autonomy in writing the paper;
exposure skills;
Level of interest shown in the thesis and topic relevance;
