Universidad Católica Argentina (UCA), the first academic partner of CIES, has just started the enrolment process for the 12th edition of the FIFA/CIES Programme which will begin on 11 May 2015 on the Puerto Madero campus in Buenos Aires.
UCA and CIES are very pleased to launch the twelfth edition of the FIFA/CIES sport management Programme in Argentina. Over the years, their cooperation has evolved into a strong and fruitful partnership. The Programme has gained an excellent reputation at the national and international levels. Since 2004, the Programme has in fact brought together over 350 students not only from Argentina, but also from Colombia, Uruguay, the Ukraine, Paraguay, Brazil, Guatemala, Panama, Chile, Ecuador, Peru, Venezuela, Mexico, Spain, Greece, Italy and France.
To quote FIFA President Joseph S. Blatter who initiated the academic activities of the International Federation: “Sport - and football in particular - continues to evolve within a constantly shifting environment, which is more complex every day. I am convinced that only proper training will allow sports managers to cope with the many challenges they will have to face. The FIFA/CIES Programme in sport management (good governance), organised in cooperation with Universidad Católica Argentina, is a great way to acquire the knowledge and tools they need to confront these challenges”.
Student testimonials confirm the strong points of the UCA/FIFA/CIES Programme.
“This Programme is one of the most prestigious in the world of sport. It gave me the knowledge and tools I needed to better understand sport and work professionally in the sports industry. Thanks to the teachers, to the guest speakers and to my classmates, the learning process was dynamic and interactive, based on human relations. (…). I very strongly recommend this Programme.”
Mariana Elizabeth Banús (Argentina), Bachelor of International Relations, 2014
”To me, this Programme is a unique experience. I met very interesting people and excellent professionals. It allowed me to discover new concepts that I was subsequently able to apply in my current line of work”.
José Acasuso (Argentina), former professional tennis player, 2012
