The opportunity to collaborate with a world class sports university by offering virtual placements within the domain of Sport Management. Post graduate students are prepared for success in the integrated areas of sport development; sport governance, sports marketing; sport finance; sports media; sport events. This programme is truly international with students represented from all parts of the world examining solutions, strategies, tactics, tools and techniques within the management of sport globally.

The undergraduate work placement program involves pairing an undergraduate placement student with a host organisation, where they complete 50 hours of work under the supervision of a mentor from that organisation. The 50 hours of work generally take the form of a project completed between October and April (when in that time the hours are done is very flexible). Projects can be conducted in person or remotely, or a combination of the two. Projects can be completed by an individual student or a team of students.

Looking to elevate your organization, and bring it to the next level? Bring on students from University of Stirling to be your student-consultants, in a project-based experience. Students will work on one main project over the course of the semester, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools.Students in this program/course will develop links with practitioners and gain useful experiences. The research placement is supported by an academic supervisor and by a supervisor within the non-academic organisation. The student will have regular meetings with their supervisors throughout the project, but there are no timetabled classes.
