I can say that the Sport Management Summer School fullfilled my expectations. I learned a lot from the experts, owners and directors of the different Clubs - of different sports - we visited. Also, our participation in different activities - as presentations, group jobs - was a very good combination with the classes.

Syllabus
Week 1
The 2-week course will start with an overview of global sport organisations and strategic management in sports and continues with internationalisation of sports. In order to discover and discuss different business models in sports, we use the Business Model Canvas and apply the model to different sports entities. The aspect of Quality Management in sports will be delivered through the business case of ASPIRE Academy of Sports in Qatar. The group then has a look at Sporting Events and a case study of the 2017 World Championships in Ice-Hockey in Germany, Berlin Marathon and FIFA World Cup 2022. After visiting the Mercedes Benz Arena in Berlin and a sponsorship workshop, there will be excursions to football and basketball clubs in Berlin.
Week 2
The second week starts with finances and law. We have a look at innovative ways to fund sport events, clubs and federations through crowd financing or investing and get an insight into the field of sport & media rights. Throughout the second week we will explore key activities of sport organisations and events. Further excursions to professional football clubs and international sport events, give students the opportunity to talk to club managers and event organisers.
