This program is dedicated to the management of sport, and especially to the management of international sporting events (Olympic Games, FIFA World Cup, UEFA Football European Championships, Tour de France, French Open, etc.). The master SLEM aims to train students taking into account all aspects of event management: sponsorship, media rights, press, logistics, social media, administration, competition, ticketing, catering, volunteering, spectator services, host-territories, etc.Speakers belong to the academic world (PhD, doctors and professors, specialists in sport management, sports economy, sporting events) as well as the business of sporting events (practitioners, consultants, CEO, marketing managers, social media managers). Beside regular courses, students have to achieve various case studies and manage their own sporting event called Noctiraid.

This master is dedicated to both French and international students.
Developping and organize a sporting event in an international context.
The M2 SLEM is structured around four teaching modules: the first module covers transversal courses in sport management (common foundation – case studies, CSR in sport, etc.); the second module focuses on Marketing and Communication (marketing, branding, sports media, sport economics, etc.); the third module is dedicated to sport event management (event organization, sports law, organizers’ strategies); and the fourth module covers the master’s thesis, internship, and project management.
This course prepares students to become executives of sports organizations, in the public and private domains, for both national and international levels. Its ideal location in Ile-de-France has enabled a considerable network of professionals to be built over the years, which is a great plu for the students. Once they complete their training, former students can opt to carry out their internship and then be hired in some of those following stakeholders : marketing agencies with a specialization in sport, marketing agencies, companies that organize sporting events, sports federations, committees organizing major sporting events, sports media, sponsors, sports equipment suppliers, etc.
This degree is accessible to all students with four years of higher education (equivalent to a Master 1) in fields such as economics, management, business, political science, law, engineering, etc. However, it is very important that candidates have a strong background in sport management and sporting events. For students without an academic background in this field, skills can always be developed through internships, volunteering, or by focusing their master’s thesis on this subject.
