Careers in Sports Management

Like many sectors, sport is becoming more structured and more professional, and is looking for new talent combining professional skills with in-depth knowledge of the sporting world. Working in sport means training for a business like no other, a sector that is looking for more and more specialists and offers genuine career progression.

The various sectors of sport cover an extremely broad spectrum, one that the degree programmes at AMOS manage to cover in order to train passionate, seasoned professionals.

Working in sport does not just mean being a coach, a sports instructor or a sports doctor. The sports sector generates a thriving economy that calls for genuine management within sports clubs and sporting organisations: this is sports business.

While qualifications linked to professional careers in sport were once limited to the strictly sporting side (a STAPS degree, a BPJEPS, etc.), today, as the sports world becomes more structured, sports management, marketing, sponsorship and merchandising are an integral part of running a club or a sporting organisation.

The sports world has become steadily more professional, and few sectors today offer as much dynamism and as many career opportunities. The main openings lie in activity leadership, but also in sales and in sports management. A sports club, a teaching body or a sporting organisation does indeed require management much like that of a conventional business.

At AMOS, you will build skills in management, marketing and communications, and put the knowledge gained from our programmes into practice thanks to our many partner companies across France.

The bachelor's and master's programmes in sports management were created to meet this growing demand and to offer a post-baccalaureate pathway specialising in careers in sport.

Joining AMOS means choosing a school focused on building the skills you need to take on the sports careers of today and tomorrow.

Our programmes

Our graduates go into marketing, sales, events (as sports event organisers), communications, sponsorship (as sports sponsorship managers) and entrepreneurial management roles within organisations such as sports clubs, federations, sports marketing and communications agencies, media outlets, sports equipment brands, sports event organisers, online betting companies, fitness centres and gyms.

It is a well-judged choice of course for a student with a baccalaureate who wants to continue their studies and is looking for a career direction in line with their passions, over and above the salary which, depending on the profession, may be a further factor in shaping their career plans.

The salary of a sports manager, for example, varies according to the sector, experience and level of responsibility. Other careers such as sports journalist, press officer, sports marketing director and communications director offer just as many opportunities.
