Course description
The size of the world market for professional sports will reach $90.9 Billion (US) by 2017. It is growing at 5% per year. In Australia the combined Sport and Recreation Industries have been valued at $13 Billion (A) approximately, making sports a major contributor to the economy. The economic significance of the sports industry alone makes it an important area of study. Moreover, associated with the growth in the sports industry is the demand for a professional workforce in sports administration and sports analytics. Taken in isolation, the world market for sports analytics is currently valued at nearly 5 Billion. This course will act as an important introduction to those looking for a career in sports administration or sports analysis.
