Programmes of Study

The unique and successful concept of the study programme Sport, Business & Law has been a benchmark for studies in the field of sports management ever since it was founded in 1985.

The basis of these studies focusing on sport and economy derives from the academic fields of sport, management, business administration and law. The uniqueness of the programme is based upon its interdisciplinarity, internationality, its traditions and ability to innovate as well as its strong spirit of networking and cooperation.

Sport is a relevant factor for society and economy and its importance has been growing constantly in the course of time. In many fields of business, highly-qualified university graduates are needed. Thus, skills in business administration and sport science are just as important as experiences in project management, a sense of legal problems and solutions. To fulfill this job profile, the University of Bayreuth has developed the study programme B.Sc. Sport, Business & Law.

In the course of six semesters, our students gain a sound education in business administration, sport science and law with special references to sport management. Thus, students develop the ability of thoroughly analyzing, interpreting and solving problems. Furthermore, a multisided training in different sports adds to the interdisciplinary study profile. The teaching language is German and English.

In view of the international orientation of the field of sport management, the B.Sc. Sport, Business & Law also contains courses of foreign languages. This enables our students to actively participate in dialogues with international partners.

Interdisciplinary study offers and practically oriented ways of teaching transmit fundamental job-oriented skills. Moreover, an obligatory internship contributes to the practical aspect of the studies.

The early acquisition of practical experiences is strongly supported by the University of Bayreuth. Our departments offer workshops and lectures held by representatives of successful companies on a regular basis and thus create a link to the professional job market.
