Master

Purposes

The I Level Master in Law, Economics, and Innovation in Sports is a program that prepares managers capable of overseeing all aspects of management and organization in the field of sports.

In a global context, where sports constitute not only a human right but also a social and, above all, economic phenomenon, addressing the dynamics of sports requires professionals capable of managing—through highly specialized expertise—a wide range of areas: from economic and financial management to legal matters, and on to safety and communication.

It is understood that the economic activity generated by sports, the media interest the phenomenon generates, and, more generally, its economic potential elevate the sports sector to a business sector of considerable importance. This consideration must, however, be accompanied by a further observation that is likely obvious but carries a significant educational implication: sports possess unique characteristics that prevent them from being simply equated with other business sectors. This is why, at the dawn of the third millennium, a general managerial education is insufficient to manage the sports phenomenon as a whole; rather, the traditional subjects of a Master of Business Administration program must be adapted to the context of sports and its specific characteristics. This requires that we not overlook its historical evolution and values, its social function, and the impact of new technologies. In line with this approach, the aim of the master is to train candidates capable of assuming the following professional profiles:

• Executives of national and international organizations and federations
• Managers of sports associations and clubs
• Sports event organizers and facility managers
• Professional athlete managers
