The course is open to players from the European Union, and there are a limited number of places available.
Graduating from this course will mean you are better placed to gain employment when your career as a player finishes. It also helps you to get internships with our network of sports organisations and football clubs.
The flexible way to learn
The degree has been adapted to reflect the demands of your career: all the exercises and learning activities are available online and you can follow the lectures and do your homework whenever it suits you best.
This could be at home, when travelling to and from matches, or at training camp. If you move to another country, you just continue as before.
Course structure
The Sport Management Bachelor’s degree program runs over seven semesters and takes about 3.5 years to finish.
All students must complete an internship in semesters three and seven, which are 13 weeks long. FIFPRO will help you find internships: maybe even your own club will give you this opportunity.
Course requirements
All courses are in English, and as part of the selection process, you must do an English test. All students must have completed their secondary school education.
Costs
The admission fee is €600, but you will get a €300 refund if you successfully pass the first year.
The costs for books will be around €200 per semester (except for semesters 3 & 7 when you do your internship).

- Strong motivation
