Curriculum overview

What to expect on the course

MODULE I - INTRODUCTION

A detailed analysis of the main aspects of law related to sport will be carried out so that students can subsequently understand the current legal and social framework in this regard. Likewise, in this first phase we will try to consolidate some fundamental legal concepts and understand the organisation of our industry in the main regions of the world.

MODULE II - LEADING SPORT INSTITUTIONS

We will study both national and international sports institutions, focusing on those organisations that are directly related to the world of football: FIFA, UEFA, EPFL, LaLiga and ECA.

MODULE III - LEGAL ASPECTS APPLIED TO SPORT

We will carefully examine the particularities of each of the main fields of law affecting sport, namely labour law, commercial law, tax law, Audiovisual Media Services regulations, Regulatory Compliance and National and International Federative Regulations and so on, through work sessions and case studies reflecting the real quandaries of this sector.

MODULE IV - CONFLICTS RESOLUTION

We will explain in detail the different mechanisms available for conflict resolution, paying special attention to the preparation of proceedings before the Court of Arbitration for Sport. Likewise, we will address the different resolutions by this Court that have generated case-law in recent history.

MODULE V - SUPPLEMENTRY REGULATIONS

Regulation of intermediaries, doping, violence prevention or legislation on current betting issues.

MODULE VI - REGULATION OF OTHER SPORTS

Students will learn about the legal aspects that regulate the operation of other sports, which, despite not having the leading role of football, have sufficient business volume to offer new professional opportunities.

MODULE VII - NEW DEVELOPMENT AREAS

We will study in depth the growing areas of sport, such as women's football and eSports. Likewise, we will also conduct teaching sessions to familiarize students with other subjects, which, regardless of their lack of strictly legal content, are fundamental to understand the new perspective of our business: digital strategy, corporate social responsibility or new communication techniques.

MODULE VIII - PRACTICUM

Students will have the opportunity to put into practice all the knowledge acquired during the master's programme by carrying out internships in a Sports Industry Institution or entity.

Students who, due to their professional situation, are unable to carry out these internships, must present an alternative individual work.

MODULE IX - MASTER’S THESIS

Students will have to prepare their Master’s Thesis under the monitoring of their assigned supervisor. The said Thesis shall deal with any matter chosen by the students and approved by the Masters Directors.
