Sport is a global, fast-moving industry where brands, clubs, and organisations compete for attention, loyalty, and commercial success.

On this BA Sport Marketing degree, you'll explore how sport is marketed in a disruptive digital world – from fan engagement and sponsorship to media, branding, and data-driven campaigns. You'll study both the marketing of sport and the use of sport in wider commercial marketing, developing a clear understanding of how the industry operates.

Through practical projects, live briefs, and industry-informed learning, you'll build skills in content creation, digital marketing, consumer insight, and campaign development. You'll also learn to use industry tools and platforms to analyse audiences, measure engagement, and understand what drives fan behaviour.

* Study emerging trends, including AI, esports, sustainability, and diversity in sport

* Learn to analyse data and consumer insights to make informed marketing decisions and optimise future campaigns

* Begin working like a marketing professional by tackling authentic industry briefs, pitches, and collaborative projects

* Build transferable skills in communication, commercial awareness, negotiation, and problem-solving

By graduation, you'll be ready to create powerful campaigns, engage audiences, build brands, and drive growth across the global sport industry and beyond.

Learn through real industry practice

BA Sport Marketing uses experiential learning to boost your understanding of marketing theory, including live briefs, consultancy-style projects, simulations, and industry challenges. You'll work individually and in teams to develop real marketing solutions for sport-related organisations.

Build real marketing and content skills

Develop hands-on experience using industry tools and platforms such as social media management tools, analytics software, and digital marketing systems. You'll also gain experience producing a range of marketing content, including videos, podcasts, blogs, and social media campaigns, developing your creative and strategic marketing skills.

##### How we assess your application

At Leeds Beckett we look for students who demonstrate a good knowledge, curiosity and passion for your chosen course and would benefit from the University’s learning environment.

We aim to give every student a fair chance to progress and succeed on their chosen course and we recognise that your grades may not always reflect your true potential. Therefore, when assessing your application, we will consider the following:

##### Our offers

All our offers are made by trained professionals who are committed to making offers that are appropriate to each applicant, regardless of their background.* They have the discretion to vary the level of offer to ensure every student with the potential to succeed at Leeds Beckett receives an offer that is achievable for them.

This could mean that you may receive an offer to study on this course with lower (predicted or achieved) UCAS Tariff Points than our published tariff.  Your offer will be based on our belief that you are capable of benefiting from, and successfully completing, your course. We believe that it is people who think differently, independently, people with ‘unlike-minds' that make big things happen.
