Introduction
The FIFA Master in Management, Law and Humanities of Sport was recently ranked as the No.1 Postgraduate Sport Management course in Europe for a record tenth time in the new 2022 SportBusiness rankings. This unprecedented achievement now firmly establishes the FIFA Master as one of the most respected in international sports business education.
On 3rd October 2022, the International Centre for Sports Studies (CIES) officially opened the application process for the 24th edition (2023-2024) of the award-winning FIFA Master course. Accepted candidates will begin their course studies in September 2023.
Organised by the International Centre for Sports Studies (CIES) in partnership with De Montfort University in Leicester (UK), SDA Bocconi School of Management in Milan (Italy) and the University of Neuchâtel (Switzerland), the FIFA Master in Management, Law and Humanities of Sport was created to promote management education within the sports world. It has grown to become a top graduate programme developing all-round managers who can cope with the increasingly complex world of sport.
With over 90% of our 600+ FIFA Master graduates, and who represent more than 110 nationalities, working in the sports industry, the impact of the FIFA Master reaches across all continents and nations.
A unique programme
The FIFA Master takes its graduates on a unique journey through three different European countries to study sport. Three distinguished universities in the UK, Italy and Switzerland, which are among Europe's most sports-oriented countries, have come together to provide a one-year programme that combines top-class academic teaching and practical case studies supplemented by guest lecturers and field visits. The course focuses on three key and inter-related aspects of sport - Humanities, Management and Law.
