Integrating academic excellence and sport industry knowledge

The FIFA Master is a unique postgraduate sports executive programme, initiated by FIFA, coordinated by the International Center for Sport Studies (CIES), and taught by three prestigious European universities: De Monfort University (Leicester, UK), SDA Bocconi School of Management (Milan, IT) and Neuchâtel University (Neuchâtel, CH).

Every year, 25-30 skilled professionals are selected from a worldwide pool of applicants to take part in this full-time course, which covers all the major issues that sports organisations face today – everything from business and legal matters to social and ethical issues.

The exposure and contact with the sports industry throughout the duration of the course, offered through invited guest speakers, site visits and project work complements the theoretical side of the course, providing an overall balance and preparing our postgraduates for real life challenges of working in the industry.

Last, but certainly not least, a very active Alumni Association makes you feel part of a special family, not only during the time of your studies, but well after graduation.
