Knowledge and understanding: This course gives students the knowledge of the fundamentals concerning the management of a sports organization. Particular depth is reserved for the study of new media and the influence they have in the processes related to the planning and promotion of sporting events.

To this end, meetings and debates are planned with scholars and professionals in the sector.
