Damien Coleman, MSc Sport Management Graduate
"On a personal level, embarking on the MSc Sport Management programme in UCD was one of the very best decisions I made both academically and professionally. UCD's administrative supporting staff, lecturers and professors were consistently friendly and available, which matters to a student embarking on a great academic challenge such as a masters programme. The module content is cutting edge, finely tuned and industry-relevant, with subject areas such as strategy & operations, leadership & people management, sports marketing, governance & law, event management & sustainability, and management of high performance sport. All subject areas combine in a collective synergy fully equipping the masters student for the reality of industry.
The UCD MSc Sport Management programme personally challenged and changed my critical thinking in a positive way, equipped me with the artillery to venture professionally from my comfort zone to explore new industry sports management roles, and ultimately secured me a substantial promotion in the sports industry sector".
