Professional Bachelor's Degree in GDOSS
Academic Director: Julien VIDAL
Overview & Objectives
The GDOSSL Professional Bachelor’s Degree (Level 6 certification) is designed to bridge the gap between academia and the professional world, with a specific focus on equipping enrolled students with knowledge of the public and private sectors of sports management in France and Europe
This initiative is a priority based on the following observations:
- Difficulty in recruiting candidates capable of marketing sports products and services,
- A certain lack of understanding, or even a divide that needs to be bridged, between the public and private sectors of sports,
- The gap that needs to be bridged between initial and continuing education,
- The dynamism of sports marketers in Occitanie, built on a strong tradition of athletic excellence, sports for all, and outdoor sports,
- The first initiatives to build bridges between nonprofit organizations, businesses, and local governments (financial ties, business incubators, structural mechanisms, support programs, and calls for proposals, etc.) that need to be supported,
- The existence of shared expertise in sports marketing to modernize and optimize the management of sports organizations
- Knowledge of the nonprofit sector, including its management and the ability to effectively lead sports sessions
- Pedagogical and instructional knowledge related to managing a group during physical education classes.
Continuous monitoring of the work carried out by students during and between the various on-campus sessions is a key educational priority in this program. The 600-hour practical training requirement—whether in the form of an internship, paid employment, or entrepreneurship—serves as the setting in which the targeted skills are developed, consolidated, and certified. It encompasses several dimensions:
- Organizational management: knowledge of the management and organization of a company or association, articles of incorporation, financial management, analysis, budgeting, and cost control.
- Event management: project methodology, development of specifications, partnerships, communication, economic impact.
- Marketing in sports, physical activity, and recreation: the market, prospects, commercial products, sales, and market economics as applied to sports.
