Overview

What is the Course about?

Sports bodies require their management and coaching staff to have a well-rounded understanding and knowledge of business and management, as well as their chosen sport. A Sport Coaching and Business Management (GAA) degree explores the cross-functional nature of business and sport and equips students with the necessary skills to attain careers in: sports management; club development; games development and club administration.

Applicants can apply for both the BA (Honours) Sport Management and Coaching (CW858 - NFQ Level 8) or Sports Coaching and Business Management (GAA) (CW807 - NFQ Level 7) on the CAO application. Both courses run concurrently for the first three years.
