Mumbai,Sports Business School (SBS) today announced it was offering Post Graduate Programs, starting mid-June, in two sports-business disciplines: Sports Marketing, and Sports Business Management.

SBS Director, Nigel Empson, explained that the courses were designed to accelerate the learning process within developing sports markets by giving students access to leading practitioners in the sports industry: India and similar developing territories are poised for rapid growth within the sports sector. This creates a demand for people with leadership qualities, and a knowledge and understanding of the global business of sport.

These programs will give candidates access to industry professionals from across the world, and from a broad range of sports and sports-related businesses. Through this exposure candidates will acquire a practical understanding of current thinking and best practice. We aim to move beyond the academic to add skills, knowledge and understanding that will enable candidates to make an impact - they will be involved not just in extensive case studies but also in live projects.

Stephen Constantine, former India National Coach, FIFA Coach Instructor, UEFA Professional Diploma Holder and now Coach of European club side APEP, welcomed the launch of the SBS program: Sport in India needs talented managers and administrators, and these programs should go a long way towards meeting that need. India has huge potential but theres a lack of experience and expertise in many key areas - Im delighted that SBS has stepped in and Ill be discussing with them how I can get involved in supporting what theyre looking to achieve.

Full details of the course program are available on the SBS website (www.sportsbusinessschool.com)
