The sports marketing master doesn´t offer a specific exchange offer but the program includes several international activities that the students will enjoy during the course.
Internships are a key part of your education. Acquiring experience and putting into practice what you have learned during your degree is the best way to enter the employment market. There are two types of internship: curricular (which are included as part of your programme) and extracurricular (which you can do on a voluntary basis).
The Master’s in Sports Marketing offers you the chance to complete internships at some of the most renowned sports brands, organisations and marketing agencies. In addition, selected students can undertake internships at the Real Madrid Marketing Department.
In order to carry out an internship in a company, you’ll need to have passed 50% of your credits and have registered before you start the internship. Both the company and a professor on your course shall monitor your progress on the internship and shall provide you with an evaluation at the half-way mark and upon completion.
If you want to gain extra work experience before completing your university studies, you are welcome to carry out extracurricular internships. You can carry out an internship in whichever year of your studies you choose, but we would like to remind you that they are formative and should complement your studies. The more theoretical knowledge you have acquired throughout your degree, the more you shall benefit from an internship.
Internships in companies are a key element in your training. Gaining experience after what you have learned in your degree is the best way to enter the job market. There are two types of internships, curricular (included in your study plan) and extracurricular (which you can do voluntarily).
In the case of the University Master's Degree in Sports Marketing, in addition to the mandatory professional internships that students must carry out and which are carried out in entities, brands or sports properties and top-level marketing agencies, students will have the opportunity to take immersions in the organization of top international sporting events (Davis Cup of Tennis, World Padel Tour Finals ...) and even participate in the organization of them (ATP-WTA Finals Masters 1000 Madrid Mutua, World Football Summit ...).
Additionally, and from the first week, students constantly develop real projects with real companies that become clients of their agencies, having to respond to the needs that the client exposes, working under pressure, with demanding delivery dates and real clients that demand of the student. professional projects.

To carry out the curricular internships in companies, you will need to have 50% of the credits approved and enroll in the subject before starting your internship. These practices are monitored by the company and the internship teacher, as well as the preparation of intermediate and final reports for their evaluation.
If you want to improve your work experience before completing your university education, you can do extracurricular internships. You can do them in any course but we remind you that the practices are a formative complement to your studies; therefore, the more knowledge you have acquired throughout your degree, the more you will benefit from the internship experience.

Companies shall select students after evaluating their C.V.s and the skills they have developed on the course.
