About BA (hons) Marketing With Sport in Solent University (Southampton)

Along with a comprehensive understanding of sport promotion and business covering sport brands, sport sponsorship and engaging global audiences, you will learn to use digital and social media alongside traditional marketing and business techniques.

And the unique nature of sport marketing is reflected in highly specialist modules. In Sport Broadcasting and Media, you will uncover the symbiotic relationship between media and sport, the direct and indirect consumption of sport and the emergence of virtual sports. Sport Sponsorship and Events explores sport businesses and the marketing of products and services through sport. And in Globalisation and Internationalisation of Sport Business Management, you will critically analyse the regional and international marketing contexts of sport, including the emergence of Asian markets.

But the course also has a strong focus on employability – developing your practical habits and professional skills through work-related opportunities such as live client briefs and real-world projects at all levels.
