Educating global sport leaders
The programme aims at educating the future global sport leaders and global citizens, who can give way to the contribution of (international) sport organizations to societal transformation, from a critical and practical perspective. Not only through knowledge about the local, regional and global social issues, knowledge about the meaning of sport in various contexts, knowledge about governance and management of (international) sport organizations but also with academic leadership and management skills.
The programme
The University of Johannesburg, South Africa, University of Tsukuba, Japan and Utrecht University, the Netherlands decided to set up a highly qualified Global Master’s Programme that prepares administrators and managers for ‘new sport management and governance’ that matches with societal issues and current standards of good governance and organisational integrity.
Editions
The programme has started with a one month visit to Utrecht University, the Netherlands in February 2018. As of now, students attend the programme at the University of Tsukuba in Japan. In February/March 2019 the University of Johannesburg offers their one month course. The second edition is scheduled to start in 2019/2020.
