Career-focused projects
Learning in the field
Hands-on experience rooted in the realities of the profession
At AMOS Sport Business School, professional experience sits at the heart of our teaching. From the very start of their studies, our students build their skills through real-world scenarios, projects run with partner sports organisations, professional experience placements (EP), masterclasses, sporting events and immersions within the sports business ecosystem.
This hands-on approach allows our students to gain genuine professional expertise, build their professional network and strengthen their employability throughout their studies.
Immersive projects
Entrepreneurship Days (JDE)
Over one or several days, students take on a challenge built around an issue drawn from the world of sport, events or innovation.
Working in teams, they come up with a concept, build a project, develop a strategy and present their recommendations to a panel of guest lecturers and industry professionals.
Whether they are imagining the Olympic Games of tomorrow, designing an innovative sporting event or responding to a social challenge in sport, students work in the real conditions of creating and developing a project.
Masterclasses
Throughout the year, AMOS welcomes company directors, entrepreneurs, marketing managers, sport business experts, athletes and leading figures from the sports industry for exclusive masterclasses.
These sessions give students a behind-the-scenes look at sports organisations, a clearer understanding of how the sector is evolving, and the chance to talk directly with professionals about their careers, their roles and the challenges they face day to day.
Professional Experience placements (EP)
A hallmark of the AMOS approach, the EP placements allow students to take part in organising and developing major sporting events alongside well-established partners in the sector.
Marketing, events, communications, hospitality, partner relations, activations, logistics and project management: the assignments entrusted to students immerse them in the operational reality of sport business.
Thanks to the AMOS partner network, students work every year on competitions, events and initiatives run by major players in French sport.
They chose AMOS
“As a big fan of both Girondins de Bordeaux and Union Bordeaux Bègles, I had always hoped for the chance to get involved with them through volunteering. The many professional placements and partnerships offered by AMOS Bordeaux brought me closer to a world I am passionate about. What I take away above all from my five years of study at AMOS Bordeaux are the remarkable people I met, the expertise of the guest lecturers who shared their knowledge and hands-on experience with us, and the seminars abroad. Those trips allowed me to discover new cultures, broaden my view of sport business and truly flourish, both personally and professionally. ”
“I arrived on the AMOS Aix-Marseille campus in 2022, as part of the very first cohort. I quickly got involved as a student ambassador and we set up the Student Union, which created real momentum on campus. My first year was full of hands-on learning experiences and placements. Standing pitchside at the Stade Vélodrome for an international rugby match at 18 was quite simply a dream come true. Moments like that light you up and help you picture your future. In my second year, my semester abroad opened up international perspectives and led to an assignment at the Olympic Games on the Marseille marina, where I coordinated 500 volunteers.
Today I am continuing my studies in the first year of the Master's programme at AMOS Paris, on a work-study placement at SPORSORA, France's leading sports economy network, as assistant communications and events project manager. ”
“After my baccalaureate and my own experience in sport, I was looking for a school that would let me build a future in the industry, not only as a fan but also by understanding what goes on behind the scenes, the management and the marketing of the sector. That is exactly what I found at AMOS Sport Business School. I chose this school for its international outlook and its specialisation in sport business, two essentials for preparing a career in this field. Beyond the classes, what AMOS really offers is concrete opportunities: volunteering experience, placements, guest lecturers from the sports world and a student environment rich in exchange. It allowed me to build a first solid network and to discover sport business as it really is, far beyond the theory. In short: AMOS is a school that gives you as much academically as it does on a personal and professional level. I am very happy with my choice and I would warmly recommend this programme to anyone who wants to work in sport. ”
“I teach at AMOS Bordeaux, and I can only recommend this school! The teaching team is present and close to both its students and its lecturers, which is not the case everywhere. For my part, I do my best to deliver quality classes that are well structured, interactive and suited to a new generation, and honestly the students give it right back to me! Students and parents alike, I recommend AMOS for a career-focused course of study and a promising future! ”
“I chose to join AMOS Nantes in 2018, after my sports science degree in Angers. I needed a more career-focused course and a Master's on a work-study basis. In the first year of the Master's, I was on a work-study placement with a communications and events agency in Nantes. For my final year of the Master's, I joined La Dalle Angevine, where I was a work-study student working on communications, but also on events and sponsorship.
The best memory I have of AMOS is the hands-on learning experiences out in the field, because there was real sharing between students, but also an immersion in the DNA of professional clubs which genuinely inspired vocations. AMOS was a key stage that plunged me right into the world of sport. ”
“Teaching at AMOS is a particularly rewarding experience, because the school places sport at the heart of a broader reflection on how sport business is changing. As an entrepreneur and a specialist in digital products, I am keen to share with students a very concrete view of project management, agile methodologies and the way technology is transforming the sports ecosystem today.
Conversations with the students are always stimulating: they are passionate, curious and already very much in tune with the current issues in sport. My aim is to pass on not only methods and tools, but also a way of thinking about projects, of experimenting and innovating in a fast-changing sector.
AMOS creates an environment that is particularly conducive to these exchanges between professionals and students, by fostering an approach firmly grounded in the realities of the field and in careers in sport. ”
“What I take away from my time at AMOS is quite simply a highly career-focused education, inspiring encounters, and above all the conviction that sports events are a wonderful vehicle for emotion and togetherness. Today, I am committed to continuing to create events that bring people together and leave a lasting mark. ”
“My studies at AMOS/ESBS were an extremely positive experience, both academically and personally. It was without doubt a key stage in my professional development in the sports sector, and I would choose this school again without the slightest hesitation. ”
“I have been teaching at AMOS for five years, as a trainer and professional coach. My aim is to help students become aware of who they truly are: their strengths, but also the areas they need to work on in order to accept themselves better and move forward.
It is an extremely rewarding job, built on give and take: I give a great deal, but I receive an enormous amount from the students. I am hugely grateful to AMOS for placing their trust in me right at the start.
Today, seeing students again a few years later, who remember me and what I was able to bring them day to day, is my greatest achievement. ”
“Teaching AMOS Sport Business School students is, for me, an opportunity to pass on ways of thinking and acting as much as knowledge. My approach favours the concrete application of concepts to everyday practice. Beyond the theories, I try to show how they take on meaning in the professional realities students will face. What seems essential to me is that everyone leaves with a clear understanding of how the tools and ideas can be put to work in their own practice.
One student told me he needed “less effort to get up the next morning when he knows he has class”, which illustrates exactly what I hope to spark: interest, exchange and engagement.
This teaching experience has been profoundly rewarding for me. ”
