VUB sports management postgrad course scores in international ranking

VUB’s PG SPORT course has been named in 36th place in the 12th edition of SportBusiness’ Postgraduate Ranking. This is the magazine’s ranking of the world’s best postgraduate sports management courses.

SportBusiness works with sports organisations around the world to grow their business and has won the trust of a range of industry stakeholders over the past 25 years, including teams, events, sponsors, television channels, agencies, financial institutions and universities. Its Postgraduate Ranking is based on two surveys completed by lecturers and alumni who graduated three years before publication. Each programme is then given a score from 0 to 100 based on a weighted average of the results from the two surveys. This means that the 2023 ranking is based on the answers of those who graduated in 2020. As a result of limits imposed by the pandemic, this was an exceptional year. Nevertheless, VUB has been scoring highly in the report for several years and is very pleased with 36th place.

“We are proud that our postgrad course has received international recognition,” says programme director Jos Verschueren. “This confirms the position of PG SPORT as a leading programme at international level. We are working continuously to optimise this programme.”

PG SPORT was established in 2002 and is aimed at recent bachelor’s and master’s graduates in the Low Countries who have an interest in the sports industry and a passion for sport. It is a full-time, year-long course that combines commercial and economic knowledge with an understanding of sport and active leisure. More information about the programme can be found here.

VUB and La Monnaie/De Munt unveil world-first shoe made entirely from pure mycelium at Milan Design Week
A prototype shoe made entirely from pure mycelium, the root-like network of fungi, will debut at Milan Design Week. The project is a collaboration between researcher and designer Lars Dittrich of Vrije Universiteit Brussel and head shoemaker Marie De Ryck at La Monnaie/De Munt. It reframes how living materials enter application, moving beyond substitution toward a model in which design mediates between advanced biomaterials research and the demands of traditional craft.

About Press - Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Vrije Universiteit Brussel is an internationally oriented university in Brussels, the heart of Europe. By providing excellent research and education on a human scale, VUB wants to make an active and committed contribution to a better society.

The World Needs You

The Vrije Universiteit Brussel assumes its scientific and social responsibility with love and decisiveness. That’s why VUB launched the platform De Wereld Heeft Je Nodig – The World Needs You, which brings together ideas, actions and projects based on six Ps. The first P stands for People, because that’s what it’s all about: giving people equal opportunities, prosperity, welfare, respect. Peace is about fighting injustice, big and small, in the world. Prosperity combats poverty and inequality. Planet stands for actions on biodiversity, climate, air quality, animal rights... With Partnership, VUB is looking for joint actions to make the world a better place. The sixth and last P is for Poincaré, the French philosopher Henri Poincaré, from whom VUB derives its motto that thinking should submit to nothing except the facts themselves. VUB is an ‘urban engaged university’, strongly anchored in Brussels and Europe and working according to the principles of free research.
