European Sports Management Academy (ESM-ACADEMY)

ESM-ACADEMY was founded in 2012 by a former professional football player. His goal was to build a course of study that could be easily completed alongside a career, while also optimally preparing students for a second career in sports management. In 2013 the first students graduated and meanwhile we have participants from over 25 different countries worldwide.

Our lectures all take place online and you can watch them either live or recorded afterwards. The program lasts one year and you have a total of 60 lectures. The lectures cover the most important topics in sports marketing, sports management, sports psychology and sports law for a career in sports business. At the end of the two semesters, you will write a final exam and also a term paper in which you will deal more intensively with a topic of your choice from the field of sports management. Our lecturers are not theoreticians from the university, but all practitioners from the private sector.

The goal of our students is to work in the sports business after graduation - and that's exactly what we prepare you for. On the one hand, you deal intensively with important topics in the lectures and during the term paper and become a real expert. On the other hand, you will also be integrated into our network of graduates and partners who will support you on your way to your dream job.
