[5][6] CIES organizes and offers a one-year postgraduate sports executive program, endorsed by FIFA,[7] which consists of three modules that are taught across three universities in Europe, and concludes with a final project.
[10] With around 20 nationalities represented in class each year, the FIFA Master provides an international and dynamic learning environment, and focuses on three major and interconnected subject fields: management (SDA Bocconi), law (Neuchâtel) and human sciences (De Montfort).
Established in 2000, the FIFA Master scooped the top global award at this year's ceremony, having previously been named as the leading course in Europe by the same rankings from 2012 to 2015.
[11] The Master offers students the chance to meet with top international managers from the world of sport (e.g. clubs, federations, associations, etc.)
Graduates from the course become members of the FMA (the FIFA Master Alumni Association), which guarantees they will remain in touch with important stakeholders in sport.
The Final Project of the FIFA Master in Management, Law, & Humanities of Sport is seen as an opportunity for postgraduates to conduct original research, demonstrate creativity and independent thinking, as well as to develop and defend their ideas.
