Trefnydd: Dr Craig Prescott

This module aims to ensure that students acquire an understanding of the foundations of sports law and the nature of the governance of sport in national, continental, and international contexts. Students completing this module will be equipped to address contemporary issues in sport from a variety of perspectives, including inclusivity, sporting integrity, and the increasing commercialization of sport, and the challenges this raises for the established governance structures of sport.

The module will allow students to study a range of issues within Sports Law, including, but not limited to, the following:

• the governance and regulation of sport in a variety of contexts;
• issues surrounding the integrity of sport, including anti-doping;
• commercial issues within sport, including broadcasting rights and other contracts within sport, and the challenge increasingly placed on established governance structures within sport;
• the role of EU law in the development of sports law;
• contemporary and developing issues within sport.
