BA Business Management and Sport & Physical Education
About this course
Business management and sport and physical education is a combination that equips you to work at the intersection of two substantial and growing sectors. Business management provides the frameworks for understanding how organisations operate and are led, covering strategy, finance, marketing, operations, and human resource management. Sport and physical education develops your understanding of sport science, coaching, physical activity promotion, and the educational and community dimensions of sport, alongside the organisational and policy context of physical education in schools and the broader community. Liverpool Hope University's three-year full-time Business Management and Sport and Physical Education degree carries a typical entry tariff of 88 points and includes a sandwich year, a year abroad option, and work placement opportunities. The programme draws on Liverpool Hope's combined strengths in business education and sport, giving you the ability to understand both the commercial and the educational dimensions of the sport and physical activity sector. You will study business management principles alongside sport science, physical education theory and practice, and the management and development of sport in community, school, and professional settings. The practical and placement elements ensure that your learning is connected to real-world contexts throughout. Graduates work in sports management, sports development, physical education teaching (with further teacher training), sports marketing, community sport programmes, leisure management, and coaching. The combination of business and sport education is particularly suited to roles in school sports partnerships, national governing bodies, local authority sports development, and sport charity organisations. Many graduates pursue further professional qualifications in teaching, coaching, or sport management, and some continue to postgraduate study in sport science, business, or physical education.
