Organisation and Leadership in Sport and Health Governance

About

This course is designed to equip students with a comprehensive understanding of the organisational and leadership challenges in various institutional contexts, with a particular emphasis on sport and health organisations, including health promotion initiatives across different settings. Students will explore key governance principles and examine leadership across four dimensions: strategy and complexity, operations and development, collaborative engagement, and personal leadership. Throughout the course, human, social, economic, and environmental sustainability is integrated as a core perspective on organisational development and responsibility.

The course is offered in a hybrid format, meaning that all teaching takes place on campus, while selected guest lecturers may join remotely and present online. Students are expected to complete preparatory learning activities before the start of the summer school to ensure a shared foundation for the in-person teaching. In the course, students will work with real-world cases, ethical and strategic dilemmas, and simulated decision-making processes. Group-based tasks and interactive exercises enable participants to critically analyse organisational challenges and develop governance models and leadership strategies.

Students from all faculties are encouraged to participate and strengthen their ability to apply cross-disciplinary perspectives to sport and health governance.
