Digital Innovation for Sport

Our suite of five Level 9 Certificates is designed to meet the professional development needs of the sports industry, offering short, part-time, online postgraduate courses which can be stacked towards a Masters qualification. These courses are aimed at sports professionals seeking the knowledge and skills to leverage the latest technology to gain better insights, deliver new revenue streams, create more efficient workflows and improve stakeholder experiences. The five certificates cover the breadth of sports innovation and learners can specialise in Sports Data and Analytics; Digital Transformation; Digital Marketing and Emerging Technology; Learning Design for Sports Performance Feedback and Programming for Sports Innovation.

Digital innovation has had a profound influence on sports business, participation and performance, and supported the exponential growth of the active living industry. The increasing digitisation and volumes of data being generated in the sport landscape has led to a significant growth in career opportunities across the SportsTech industry both nationally and globally. Sports professionals with digital mindset and capabilities are also required in Ireland’s sporting organisations to manage membership, competitions, performance, facilities, ticketing, broadcast, marketing and many more functions.
