Sports Law and Management Program
2023-24 Sports Law and Management Program
Founded in 2005 as the first sports research center approved by the Council of Higher Education (YÖK) under the name of ‘Sports Law Research and Application Center’, our center, which has been organizing training programs, conferences and seminars in the fields of sports and social sciences under the name of ‘Sports Studies Center’ since 2012, continues its education in the 2023/2024 academic year.
In the past eighteen years, we have provided hundreds of people with the opportunity to work and intern in the sports sector thanks to our certificate programs that we have given nearly 2,000 graduates. Our goal is to increase this number every year and to train well-equipped individuals who will work in clubs, federations, law offices, private and public sports initiatives and to ensure that our program graduates take part in the sector by creating a communication pool.
Education Model
Option 1: On Campus Education
Option 2: Online Education (Zoom)
Who Should Attend the Program?
The program is open to students or graduates from all disciplines who want to pursue a career in sports law and/or sports management, as well as to anyone who works professionally in the sports sector and wants to work.
High school graduation is required for participation in the program.
Why should you join the program?
The most important feature of the program is that it provides the opportunity to ‘network’ with expert trainers from the sector and academia as well as the theoretical and practical course content.
All participants are interviewed by appointment and individual support is provided for career planning and finding a job/internship.
In addition, thanks to the e-mail group to which all participants will be added, both course documents and additional documents are forwarded and announcements of jobs, internships and other opportunities are made regularly. These e-mail groups remain active after the participants graduate and the aforementioned opportunities and announcements continue to be shared with the participants.
