Master Staps:Management Du Sport

STAPS, short for sciences et techniques des activités physiques et sportives, is the French academic field dedicated to the study of physical activity and sport. The management du sport, or sport management, specialization within STAPS focuses on the organizational, economic, and marketing aspects of the sport sector rather than the physiological or technical sides of physical activity. Students in this field typically study sport economics, event and facility management, sport marketing and sponsorship, and the legal and organizational structures of sport federations and clubs. Coursework often includes practical projects related to organizing sporting events or managing sport organizations, alongside broader business and management training. The Master Staps:Management Du Sport is offered by Université Claude Bernard - Lyon 1, located in Villeurbanne, France, as a two-year master's degree taught in French, with an inferred start date in September and yearly tuition of 250 EUR. Graduates of sport management programs commonly pursue careers with sports clubs, federations, event organizing bodies, sport marketing agencies, and public bodies responsible for sport policy, as well as roles in sponsorship or sport-related media. Because the sport sector spans professional and amateur activity, public and private organizations, and a wide range of events, sport management graduates can find opportunities across a diverse set of employers. The field combines general business and management skills with sector-specific knowledge of how sport organizations and events are structured and funded. As the program is taught in French, students should be prepared to study, present, and write in French throughout their two years of coursework.
