Sport Business Administration

We foster ‘business professionals who understand sport’: graduates who have a balanced understanding of the possibilities of sport and the know-how of business, and are able to actively participate in society. To make this happen, our curriculum in the Department of Sport Business Administration offers the unique feature of combined business administration and physical education courses, with a background in basic economics. We aim to produce personnel with both the ability to plan and the ability to take action, through an ever more effective practical education that does not place disproportionate emphasis on theoretical education, but actively incorporates practical education based on experience in sport-related companies and organizations etc.

We have constructed our curriculum with an emphasis on the practical, with guidance from instructors with long careers at the forefront of the sports business world, such as in the big clubs of the J-League. In order to foster personnel who are able to manage sports organizations and groups, and plan and prepare programs for sports events, we have designed our course with plenty of opportunities for experience-based training on-site at sports or event venues.

At community sporting events, people with the knowledge and practical abilities to safely provide guidance for sports and exercise are highly sought after. And, whatever the job you would like to pursue in the future, there’s always a qualification that would be advantageous. With our strong curriculum, our department supports students who aim to obtain qualifications they will use when they graduate and go out into the world.
