The AISTS Master of Advanced Studies in Sport Administration and Technology has had the number one Sports Management programme in the world with Eduniversal since 2015 and we are proud once again to claim 1st place in the 2018 rankings.

The Eduniversal annual ranking of the Top 50 Masters in Sports Management was announced at the beginning of this month, and in a league of 50 sports management programmes from over 17 different countries, the AISTS MAS in Sport Administration topped the ranking for the third time, securing a top three position for the sixth consecutive year. 

The Eduniversal Best Masters and MBAs ranking classify best post-graduate programs in the world, in more than 40 different fields of study. It ranks the top 50 best sports management masters and was first started in 2010.

With such a competitive industry, we are once again very proud to receive the 1st place Eduinversal award for 2018. This recognition clearly reflects the consistency of our MAS programme and the multi-disciplinary approach we have. We are continually striving to further develop our programme so as to produce the best possible sports professionals.
