Master in Sports Design and Management

The master is dedicated to the design and management of sport, a field that combines architecture, management, marketing and the social dimension. The programme is organised into seven thematic pillars ranging from sports marketing to management, from social inclusion to urban health. The programme links the design of facilities and spaces for sport with the management of organisations and events, and considers sport as a tool for wellbeing, cohesion and the development of cities, in a context in which internationalisation plays an important role. Sport is today a sector that involves economic, social, urban and health aspects, and the master offers an integrated vision that runs from the design and management of facilities to the organisation of events, from the promotion of physical activity as a tool for inclusion to the relationship between sport, urban space and people's health.

The master lasts 15 months, is scheduled to start on December 10, 2026 and is taught in English. Teaching combines lessons, laboratory activities, intensive workshops at prestigious facilities, including the FIGC Technical Centre and the Olympic Preparation Centre in Rome, and internships at public and private institutions. The page notes the participation of more than 150 international speakers every year. Admission requires a master's or specialist degree or an equivalent foreign qualification, and selection aims at a plurality of academic and professional backgrounds, with attention to internationalisation. The credits, hours, number of places, application deadline and cost are not stated. The workshops at prestigious facilities, such as the FIGC Technical Centre and the Olympic Preparation Centre in Rome, offer direct contact with the environments and professionals of the sports system, while the internships make it possible to gain experience in public and private institutions and to put the knowledge acquired into practice.

The aim is to train professionals for public and private sports organisations. The roles mentioned include facility manager, stadium manager, technical consultant and marketing manager, with specific paths such as sports marketing consultant, sports event manager, sports club executive and event organiser. The master is aimed at master's graduates from different fields, from architecture to engineering, from economics to sports and social sciences, who are interested in working in a growing sector with a strong international dimension. The presence of more than 150 international speakers every year broadens perspectives and helps build a network of contacts, and the English language makes the master suitable for students from different backgrounds and for those who wish to work in sports organisations and consulting firms with international operations.
