Basic Information

Presentation

“Sport is part of the heritage of every man and every woman, and nothing can make up for its absence”Pierre de Coubertin.

With this phrase the European Union heads its White Paper on sport, as a social and economic phenomenon on the rise. The Commission recognizes the important role of sport in European society, especially when it comes to being closer to the people and solving the problems that directly affect them.

Sport is facing new threats and new problems arising in European society, such as commercial pressure, exploitation of young players, doping, racism, violence, corruption and money laundering.

We are currently facing an adaptation to the European Higher Education Area where the postgraduate course is presented as essential for all students interested in specializing their academic knowledge and integrating with a professional level in sports law.

The importance of sport was included in the set of guiding principles of social and economic policy that includes the third chapter of title I of the Spanish Constitution, which in its article 43.3 states: "The public powers will promote physical education and sports. They also encourage the proper use of leisure”. The fundamental objective of the Sports Law is to regulate the legal framework in which sports practice must take place within the scope of the State.

The acquisition by public institutions of an unusual role as guarantor of sport, opens a market until now reserved for the private sector, the tendency to contract sports services by public institutions requires some knowledge of regulation of the legal regime applicable to the effects.

Sport is emerging as a new economic, social, and legal force; evidence of this is the increase in sports marketing, international transfers of athletes, the role of sponsorship, brand management, agents, and representatives, making it abundantly clear that this emerging market demands professionals with specialized knowledge within a legal framework for sports.

The Rey Juan Carlos University, since its foundation, has been committed to promoting sports among its students, currently having a chair in this area, a large number of sports facilities, teams and events, as well as participation as a hallmark of guarantee in different conferences, seminars and postgraduate courses related to sport, show the need to promote the creation of the present "Master in Sports Law”, to meet the demand for training students and professionals with the capacity to advise athletes, sports associations, federations, Leagues, and regional and national public entities.

Similarly, the Center for Documentation and European Studies Emile Noel Given its orientation to the analysis and study of community regulations, it is the perfect framework for the creation and development of this master's degree.

The Methodology and structure of this course is configured as follows:

  • Blended content with theoretical classes that will be taught on Fridays from 17:21 p.m. to XNUMX:XNUMX p.m.
  • Online content for carrying out practical cases, forums and delivery of material.
  • Possibility of training practices in public and private entities or institutions related to the contents of the course.
