Giants, Uni debut sport management course

FIRING up the next generation of orange and black, the GWS Giants and Western Sydney University have embarked on an exciting initiative, joining forces to launch a new immersive sports management course.

Delivered by The College at Western Sydney University, the Diploma in Business (Pathway to Sport Management) will provide students with real-world experience and insights into the dynamic world of sports management.
Starting in term one of 2024, the special collaboration between the Giants and the University, signifies a commitment to fostering the next generation of sports industry leaders by offering a comprehensive educational experience.
As part of the course, students will have the opportunity to broaden their career prospects through a range of sport-oriented electives as well as spending regular time at the Giants’ headquarters, the VAILO Community Centre in Sydney Olympic Park.
Participants will hear from sporting professionals and learn about the behind-the-scenes operations of a professional sporting organisation.
Successful completion of the Diploma is also a pathway into the second year of Western Sydney University’s Bachelor of Business (Sport Management) program.
Giants CEO David Matthews says providing educational opportunities to the Western Sydney community is embedded in the club’s culture.
“Since the inception of the Giants, we’ve always been a club that focuses on enriching the lives of the Western Sydney community and we’re delighted to continue our partnership with Western Sydney University to bring to life this fantastic educational opportunity,” he said.
Applications close February 14, 2024.
