After the success of the last editions, the fourth cycle of the short master’s degree in “Sport Management” will start in April, the course of studies created by Palermo FC with the educational-scientific collaboration of the University of Palermo, which aims to train new professionals in the sports industry or improve the skills already acquired with a managerial perspective in the sports sector.
The new edition is full of new services and activities, and with a great innovation: the duration of the course increases from three to six months and incorporates three months of workshops and training activities to be carried out directly on the field, within the rosanero club, in direct contact with professionals from all main operational areas. An operational phase that immediately gives all the students the opportunity to get to work on the daily business practices and therefore immediately put to use all the contents learned in the teaching phase, side by side with those who work within the club: from sports secretariat to the marketing and communication area, the commercial one, through operations, the organization of events, the management and behind the scenes of the matches at the Barbera and up to the away matches: for the first time, in fact, all students will be able live the unique experience of joining the Palermo team for the away matches, to closely follow the entire club delegation traveling for a championship match far from home.
The program of the master’s activities also includes a special visit to the Palermo City Football Academy, the new and modern rosanero sports center in Torretta, to enter the heart of the facilities and daily activities in the sports field.
As in past editions, places are limited to guarantee the operation of the practical phase within the club. The lessons (in total eight of eight hours each) will range from sports marketing and sports communication to the basics of law and finance linked to football clubs, through the contributions of some of the most expert trainers and managers in the Italian sports sector and international. Thanks to the contribution of high-level speakers and University professors, those enrolled will have the opportunity to acquire transversal skills across all disciplines of the study plan, through a theoretical approach – fundamental to understanding the dynamics of each macro area – but also and especially through case studies and practical applications, which account for the complex work that professionals in the sector carry out.
The course is open to all those who have a secondary school diploma and will take place ‘in presence’ at the Renzo Barbera stadium, or (upon express request) remotely via video conference, with the possibility of all subscribers to listen again, or view for the first time, the meeting even in the following 24 hours after the live broadcast.
