The UCL SBS provides students with exposure and professional opportunities in the world of Sports, Media, & Entertainment. 

The global sports industry, currently valued at over $350 billion, is experiencing rapid growth, largely driven by its increasing integration with media and entertainment. The convergence of sports with networks, social media, and television has significantly amplified the industry's reach and influence. The industry offers a number of careers, including in banking, private equity, finance, talent representation, media production, event promotion, law, etc...

With our official affiliation to UCL’s Student Union, our mission is to connect students with the world of Sports, Media, and Entertainment, and to create industry career openings for our members.
