There are three reasons why the new MBA programme in Sport Management and Coaching is indispensable:

1. Many international coaching programmes confer an academic degree. This EMBA is the first course in Austria to provide academic qualifications for coaches.
2. Many coaches in clubs and federations are also responsible for complex management tasks. This EMBA provides the skills you will need to deal with all these activities effectively and professionally.
3. Those who wish to be successful in self-employment over the long term need to combine well-founded sport and coaching knowledge with comprehensive expertise in the fields of marketing, sponsoring, law and business management. These fields of knowledge and professional skills are also provided by the programme.

The focus is placed on the following topics in cooperation with the Federal Sports Academy:

• Fundamentals of business management

• Sport financing and sponsoring
• Public relations and marketing
• Project and events management
