Students have experience in areas including strategic management in sport, sport-for-development, sport governance, sport marketing, sport finance and financial management, sport media and sport events. Importantly, students also gain experience of the management of sport for health outcomes within a variety of contexts.
Students will work on one or more projects of your choosing over the internship period, connecting with you as needed using virtual communication tools. There is an opportunity for either individual or group-based projects ( maximum group size 4 students) . All students are available for 60 hours of placement from January –April 2022 and May –July 2022.
Learners
An agreed action and outcome (e.g. report or other output) mutually beneficial to the organisation and the university as agreed by both parties.
The student should complete 60 hours with your organization by mid-May 2021.
Project Examples
Requirements
Students can complete a substantial project for your organization over the placement period. We suggest providing a starting project, but as the placement goes on there may be other duties or projects the student is asked to complete as well. Providing a central project creates structure for the internship, and gives the student (and company) a tangible goal.
Project examples may include, but are not limited to:
· prepare a report on organisational structure or governance (including changes thereto or alternatives);
· contribute to the development of organisational strategy (e.g. marketing, social media, sponsorship) or sport strategy, financial plan;
· research, prepare/develop funding application;
· develop a market analysis of competitors;
· develop a sport strategy report;
· undertake market analysis;
· research and /or produce social media content including podcast;
· undertake an event feasibility study.
Employers can have multiple students work as part of the placement.
