The M2 SLEM is open to students holding a Master 1 (or a 4-year Bachelor degree from abroad, considered equivalent). Courses are delivered in a balanced way by both academic researchers and industry professionals. The program’s identity is built on a curriculum focused on business approaches and practical case studies.
The M2 SLEM is structured around four teaching modules: the first module covers transversal courses in sport management (common foundation – case studies, CSR in sport, etc.); the second module focuses on Marketing and Communication (marketing, branding, sports media, sport economics, etc.); the third module is dedicated to sport event management (event organization, sports law, organizers’ strategies); and the fourth module covers the master’s thesis, internship, and project management.
