Introduction
International sponsorship and corporate competition have transformed sports into a multibillion-euro industry. International sports have set trends and redefined boundaries in international politics and cross-cultural communication, as well as trademark rights and financial models. This field requires professionals with specific sports management skills combined with deep business and financial understanding. You will acquire specific skills to meet the challenges of this competitive atmosphere through courses in negotiation, sponsorship and broadcasting, among others.
With our fast-track option, students can accelerate their studies by completing one or two intensive summer semesters. We also offer inter-campus transfers between our EU campuses and exchange programs with our OMNES sister schools in Paris, Bordeaux, Lyon, Monaco and London to enhance international experience and multicultural learning.\
