The department
Since the winter term 2012/2013, the newly founded Department of Sport & Health Management offers courses to students. They can be enrolled in master programs of both the Faculty of Sports and Health Sciences and the TUM School of Management. The courses deal with current challenges in the management of sports and health product and service providers.
Linking sport and health topics with management at TUM
Do you want to work in the field of sport and health management? Do you consider providers such as sport clubs, sports goods producers, and event agencies or providers such as health insurance companies, preventative health care, and hospitals as employers that attract your attention? If you answer these questions with yes, we recommend you the following:
After finishing your bachelor in “Basic Principles of Sport Science“ (B.Sc.), you obtain the master in „Management for Natural Scientists“ (M.Sc.; also called TUM NAWI). You acquire profound knowledge in sport science as well as in management. By linking the two fields in your studies, you are well prepared for the requirements of this expanding professional area.
Courses and thesis
The Department of Sport & Health Management offers courses that give an introduction into management and economics at a bachelor level. In your bachelor thesis, you can focus on the field of sport and health management. Topics that are currently available can be seen here. It is also possible to suggest own topics for your bachelor thesis.
Obtaining the TUM NAWI master degree will guarantee that you acquire profound knowledge in management and economic during the two years of study. The program offers classes that relate to sport and health management topics (e.g., Finance & Accounting, Innovation & Entrepreneurship, Marketing, Strategy & Leadership, Operations & Supply Chain Management); several departments are involved. The Department of Sport & Health Management offers courses such as sponsorship-linked marketing or non-profit organization management.
