We have been working with a variety of people, including Steve Osborne, a career and employability expert from Cardiff Metropolitan University and the head of a European-wide ERASMUS project on student employability. Steve, amongst others, will share his knowledge and experience around careers and employability in sports and will offer you unique insights on how to become the best professional version of yourself.

Blog posts will each have a specific topic and will revolve around your career. This may range from career planning and industry awareness to practical advice on job search and self-presentation skills. We have a variety of topics prepared already and we will regularly be posting a blog post on this page to provide you with new insights into Sport Management.

EASM student benefits

In recent years, we have been working hard to upgrade and expand the services we offer to students in Sport Management. With all of our in-person events being cancelled in the last year-and-a-half due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have been looking at the digital space to offer a unique experience for students and a reason to be part of the EASM community. Next to digital events, networking sessions and socials, we have also been looking at additional services of added value that will help you in your Sport Management journey.
