The aims of this module are to identify key global sustainability issues, and related sustainable development principles and examine the two-way relationships between the described sustainability issues and the sport sector, including how sport both contributes to, and is affected by global sustainability issues.

The aim of this module is to give students an opportunity to explore grand challenges facing our global society and to propose imaginative solutions to specific challenges in one or more country.

Students will critically reflect on the United Nations Sustainability Development Goals and think about how Loughborough University's Creating Better Futures. Together Strategy might contribute to them.

Students will engage with ideas and approaches to possible solutions from their own programme and gain diverse insights from Loughborough University London's interdisciplinary ecosystem. This will involve solution-oriented thinking and a balance between criticality and possibility, leading to a deep understanding of grand challenges and imagining creative responses to them.

The aim of this module is to understand the importance of data-driven decision making and strategy formulation, and how statistical analysis and data visualization assist in identifying sport business trends and solutions.

The aims of this module are to:

• Introduce students to recent developments in leadership research with focus on diversity and change in sport business
• Become familiar with a range of leadership challenges executives face when managing culturally diverse, or remote teams to better understand the adoption of leadership styles in different parts of the sport business industry
• Examine the challenges increasingly high innovation pressures bring for sport business professionals and how seemingly competing management strategies can be balanced to satisfy various stakeholders

The aims of this module are to understand opportunities and constraints associated with urbanisation and simultaneous transitioning to a low-carbon economy by many countries. Using Sustainable Development Goals as a framework, the module will take a `whole system's perspective, discussing technological, social, political, cultural, environmental, and economic aspects of sustainability and resilience in the context of broader urban and development issues.

The aim of this module is to understand the role that sport plays in political and diplomatic issues at a national and international level. Using contemporary examples from developed, transitioning, developing, and fuel-based economies, the module will explore how sport can be used to positive (e.g., facilitating socio-economic plans) or negative (e.g., whitewashing human rights violations) ends. In doing so, the module aims to promote a critical, evidence-based understanding of the interplay between sport, politics, and diplomacy.
