Introduction

This double major provides students with the opportunity to acquire both a sound understanding of marketing and the skills and knowledge required to pursue a career in sports administration or as a sports marketer. The Sports Administration component of the degree is unique amongst Australian universities and designed to provide the theoretical foundation and techniques of sports administration. Law, management, psychology and administration are applied to the sport setting with numerous practical sport business examples from a broad range of national and international sports organisations at amateur, professional and Olympic levels. Marketing anticipates demands for products, services and ideas by analysing behaviour of competitors and customers and designing products, promotion, pricing and distribution strategies. This component of the major will also prepare students to organise and control marketing activities efficiently in a highly competitive and volatile environment.
