The Leadership in Sport MA, a masters course co-delivered by the Institute of Sports Humanities and Loughborough University London, is designed to nurture and support sport’s current and future leaders – both on and off the pitch, from the sharp end of high performance to the wider perspectives required to understand sport as a whole and its influence on society.
The Leadership in Sport MA blends theory and practice, each informing the other: the programme combines access to sport’s leading academics alongside seminars and masterclasses by world-class practitioners, and students benefit from studying ‘best practice’ as well as gaining behind-the-scenes access.
Leaders in sport have to make difficult decisions – often based on incomplete and quickly-changing information – and the quality of those decisions will determine their success and failure. Crucially, most important decisions draw on different kinds of evidence, demanding an inter-disciplinary lens. That’s why this programme is anchored in the wider perspective of the humanities. The best leaders in sport are rarely found in a narrow silo: they are broad thinkers, comfortable dealing with – and benefitting from – differing approaches and kinds of expertise. Today’s sports leaders need ‘smarts’ and they also need breadth.
The following information is intended as an example only and is typically based on module information for the 2022/23 year of entry. Modules are reviewed on an annual basis and may be subject to future changes. Updated Programme and Module Specifications are made available ahead of each academic year.

Our Leadership in Sport MA is designed to nurture and support sport’s current and future leaders – both on and off the pitch, from the sharp end of high performance to the wider perspectives required to understand sport as a whole and its influence on society.
The module aims to examine the influence of behavioural economics on sports decision-making through case studies. It intends to demonstrate that there is both an 'art' as well as a 'science' to decision making.
This module will examine the origins and development of the relationship between modern sports, commercialism, and entrepreneurship, and draw out the lessons for contemporary sports management.
This module aims to: create an awareness of past and current issues in sports governance, law, and ethics giving a broad overview of the regulatory and governance structure of sport at local, regional, national and international level. The module aims to give students specialist insight into the challenges of governance in sport today and its legal and ethical ramifications, as well as the analytical skills to address them and provide new insights into old debates.
The aims of this module are to deliver a thorough grounding in the main leadership models, and the issues that impact on leadership practice in the sport environment. It is intended as an introduction to leadership and will be the theoretical foundation upon which other sport leadership units are built.
This module aims to: Equip students with a detailed knowledge of the process by which sport became globalised to help students understand the concept of globalisation and the expansion of sport around the world.
The module equips students with the critical skills to discuss and influence the future of the sporting event in an informed, enlightened and practical way.
The aims of this module are to explore how Sport both reflects and influences social attitudes and behaviours, raising fundamental questions about equality, while nevertheless promoting elite performance and status. The module equips students to think critically about issues such as equal pay, sexism, racism, homophobia and LGBT discrimination, and disability, and the way in which clear understanding of such issues relates to the workplace and employability.
The aims of this module are to create an awareness of how critical reflection can facilitate improved leadership and personal growth in sport management practice.
The aims of this module are to give the student the opportunity to study a subject, business problem or research question in depth and to research the issues surrounding the subject or background to the problem.
The module will equip the student with the relevant skills, knowledge and understanding to embark on their individual research project and they will be guided through the three options available to them to complete their dissertation:
Students will achieve a high level of understanding in the subject area and produce a written thesis or project report which will discuss this research in depth and with rigour.
Based in the heart of Olympic Park on our London campus, you will have access to all the facilities within our building, plus opportunities to learn outside the campus throughout your studies with us.
