      First batch Degree Program student

      The Master’s in Sports Industry Management program of XEBS has been a wonderful experience for me. Being a former pro sportsman, it was an eye-opener for me to learn about the business aspect of the sports and the behind-the-scenes workings of a successful club, organisations, sports events and many more. The program provided a practical approach with necessary management skills where you learn by doing instead of just overloading yourself with theoretical knowledge. The professors were highly knowledgeable in their fields and were passionate to teach. The program was well-designed and challenging. This program also offered networking opportunities with Industry professionals and also classmates from diverse backgrounds. Think of this program as a training ground where you are constantly pushed to think outside the box and deal with challenges that you will face in real life. All-in-all I would definitely recommend this program to anyone who wants to pursue a career in the sports industry. It can be a boon for someone who has been playing professionally and wants to stay in sports.
