Our students are assessed throughout the academic year by continuous assessment (homework, case studies, oral presentations, etc.) and in mid-term sessions. A professional dissertation will be produced and presented to a jury at the end of the 3rd year. Certification is obtained by capitalising on all the skill blocks and defending the end-of-study dissertation in English.

Certification is conditional upon validation of all the common skill blocks of the qualification, enabling the student to practise the profession, and validation of a professional thesis.
Assessment is based on the blocks of skills that make up the qualification. These include: simulations of work situations, submission of a written professional dissertation following a 4-month end-of-studies work placement and oral defence of the professional dissertation.

Practical methodology: with the support and experience of professional teachers from the sports industry, you will be trained through classroom sessions and the case study method.

You will be at the center of your education, stimulating your participation, critical thinking, and teamwork; we will work with you on learning and practicing technical skills and soft skills in sports management.
