The SportBusiness International rankings are a key reference for evaluating the best postgraduate programs in sports management worldwide. These rankings are published by SportBusiness Magazine, the leading industry publication providing news, analysis, and opinion on the global sports business sector.
The rankings are based on two extensive surveys conducted among alumni who graduated three years prior to publication and among the academic institutions themselves. These surveys assess both the quality of teaching received and the return on investment of the programs.
The main objective of these rankings is to provide students and professionals interested in master’s and postgraduate programs in sports management with a reliable tool to make informed decisions about their education and career development.
