These underpin the structure and governance of sport, health and exercise programmes today. If these opportunities interest you, the combination of UCD’s internationally recognised academic excellence and sporting reputation makes this degree ideal.

“Studying Sport & Exercise Management at UCD was one of the best decisions I have made. The multidisciplinary course allowed me to explore different aspects of sports management, and the first year provided an excellent basis for working within any area of the sports industry. I appreciated being able to concentrate on a specific area of interest in second year, such as exercise management, and the work placement was an invaluable way of gaining first-hand, practical experience of my chosen career. On campus, lectures and assignments improved my interpersonal communication skills, which taught me how to work effectively in groups and encouraged me to take my own initiative and develop my leadership skills. This course has prepared me to be an effective manager within the sports industry whilst also preparing me to continue with my studies.”
