Master of Sports Management / Master of Project Management

With south-east Queensland set to host the Summer Olympic Games in 2032, there has never been a better time to consider a career in sport management. The sport industry is already a major contributor to Australias economic growth and that will be supercharged over the next decade as new opportunities arise in sport development, facilities management, event management, sponsorships, sports communication, law, marketing and so much more. Notably, many of these opportunities are likely to be styled for the gig economy, where management by projects is becoming the norm. Whether you are working as a consultant or permanent staffer, tasks are increasingly delivered on a project basis by interdisciplinary teams headed by leaders who not only have expertise in their chosen field but a suite of people management, time management, and design thinking skills. All of which is exactly why a postgraduate qualification in project management is the ideal extension to supercharge your Master of Sport Management studies. Having dual Sport Management and Project Management qualifications will help you stand out and significantly expand your career options, adding extra value to potential roles in the sport management sector. Studying these two in-demand degrees at the same time also represents a significant cost saving compared to studying the two degrees separately.
