Sports are an integral part of life for many. From community building local sports clubs to the elite athletes idolised by many, sport is a key part of our social fabric. It has also evolved into a big business where major brands are produced, promoted and consumed. The application of marketing and management skills in the sports industry can grow teams, events, and companies into competitive and profitable entities.

Every major company in the world now relies on networks to survive. Network designers enable governments and businesses to share data and applications to achieve greater strategic advantage through, for example, the use of social media and cloud computing. Whether it’s a multinational company with offices throughout the world or a small start-up business, IT networks provide the means by which people can stay connected with each other and the latest information. Network managers ensure networks operate reliably, so that their performance is appropriate to the organisation’s needs, as well as being made secure from external threats.
