LLM International Sports Law

The world of sport doesn’t simply bring together athletes and individuals of different backgrounds, cultures and countries. With major sponsorship deals, global names and serious money involved, it can also be a breeding ground for contract disputes, disagreements and criminal activity.

Our International Sports Law Masters award has been specifically designed to equip Law students and practitioners, as well as suitably qualified sports professionals, athletes and administrators, with the qualifications, expertise and knowledge necessary to operate within – and better understand the complexities of the international sports arena.

With a truly international content, the award blends practical sports issues with academic theory across a wide range of sports, countries and environments.

Most specifically, with a choice of subject areas, the LLM can be tailored to your own interests or area of practice.

Subjects include:

• International Sporting Organisations and Rules
• Sports Regulation and Governance
• Commercial Regulation of Sport
• Doping in Sport
• Sport, the Individual and the Law (civil and criminal injuries)

You will also have the opportunity to choose a current sports topic to research for a dissertation project.
