The Foundation in Business, Management and Study Skills is run online and provides direct entry to the BA (Hons) in Sports Management Coaching.
Sports management and coaching is an area of study that combines the techniques of sports management and coaching with the principles of business and enterprise. The field of sports management and coaching is changing rapidly. Professional sporting bodies require management and coaching staff to have an excellent understanding of their chosen sport, as well as strong business skills.
