Description

The importance of data in today's society is beyond any doubt, not only in fields strictly related to business, but also in the world of professional sport. Sports associations and institutions and private companies in the sector have a large amount of data, which require mechanisms for collection, storage and analysis to obtain the valuable information that an organisation needs.

Data management and analysis enables a differential value based on this information to be extracted, managed and generated. Today, sports analytics is a new area experiencing constant growth, and is fundamental for decision-making and team management.

The postgraduate course in Sports Analytics provides a unique opportunity to combine advanced data analysis and passion for sport. The training is carried out in partnership with Futbol Club Barcelona, one of world's leading clubs and a pioneer in data analysis in sport. This partnership means students can work with top-level data, event data and tracking data, and on solving applied problems. In addition, students will be able to obtain a real and privileged view of the application of sports analytics in a leading club in the field.

The postgraduate course provides a comprehensive and broad-based perspective of a data ecosystem applied to the sports field, with an in-depth look at data management and data analytics. The training provides an overview of all the components and tasks currently involved in the application of sports analytics.

After completing the postgraduate course, participants will be able to work professionally in football clubs and in other sports or in private companies, as well as in the field of consultancy and research for sports associations and companies.
