Field: Undergraduate degrees in STAPS: Science and Techniques of Physical Activity and Sport
Degree: Bachelor’s degree
Title: STAPS: Sport Management
Programme: Sport management

Course description


This degree, offering four specialisations, meets the criteria of the National Register of Professional Certification (RNCP).
Indeed, the course description for the first two years is based on the RNCP file for the DEUG in STAPS. Holders of this degree, as technical activity leaders, ‘safely supervise and teach groups within a facility or independently in the field of physical or sporting activities, at introductory, practice or leisure level, not including at competition level. They form part of a professional team and are able to propose and successfully implement an activity project.’

In the 3rd year, the Sport Management (MS) programme is based on the corresponding RNCP file:

This course aims to train sport management graduates who are operational in sales, communication and management assistant positions (‘sell and communicate’) in sports organisation in the broad sense of the term.
Lyon targets three professional sectors in particular: Amateur and Professional Clubs (CAP), Sport Tourism and Leisure (TLS) and the Manufacturing and Distribution of Sports Goods (IDAS). A three-month work placement enables students to commence their professional insertion.

This undergraduate degree course specialising in Sports Science (STAPS) is organised as follows:


• A 1st year (L1) common to all four specialisations Adapted Physical Activity and Health (APA-S), Education and Motricity (EM), Sport Training (ES) and Sport Management (MS): students take all teaching units for semesters 1 and 2, i.e. 60 ECTS ; the 1st year constitutes the STAPS FOUNDATION COURSE.

• A 2nd year (L2) worth 51 core ECTS (i.e. 85%) organised as follows: 10 common teaching units and 3 optional teaching units, specific to each specialisation (the choice of optional teaching units in semesters 3 and 4 does not restrict the student in their choices for the 3rd year).

• A 3rd year (L3) of specialisation, very specific to the sport management sector.

The combination of cross-disciplinary, core and professional specialisation courses from L1 to L3 gradually orients students towards their chosen career.

Further study and career opportunities


One year after graduating with a degree in Sports Science, surveys among 2009-10, 2010-11 and 2011-12 graduates show that:

• 13% of graduates, on average, enter employment directly after completing their undergraduate degree (16.7% for the APA-S programme; 4.95% for EM; 15.3% for ES and 14.7% for MS);
• Approximately 66% pursue further study on the various Masters in Sports Science offered at Lyon 1
• Only 11% leave Lyon 1 to pursue further studies in another institution.

In the 2016-2020 educational contract, EM graduates can continue their studies at Lyon 1 according to a selective application process (see Decree no. 2017-83 of 25 January 2017) for:
