About the programme
The FIFA Master - International Master (MA) in Management, Law and Humanities of Sport is a one-year programme that combines top-class academic teaching and practical case studies supplemented by guest lecturers and field visits. The programme is based on four distinct modules, which are undertaken at three of Europe’s leading institutions.
The FIFA Master is organised by the International Centre for Sports Studies (CIES) in cooperation with three universities, De Montfort University in Leicester (UK), SDA Bocconi School of Management in Milan (Italy) and the University of Neuchâtel (Switzerland). Established in 2000, it was created to promote management education within the sports world. It has grown to become a top graduate academic programme developing all-round managers who can cope with the increasingly complex world of sport.
