2020: Deakin
University & DeakinCo., Australia, and Rajasthan Royals’ collaborative
Certificate Programmes in Sports Marketing are now live and available to
buy online starting 19th March 2020. The programmes have two levels: Foundation
and Advanced. The Foundation course offers a taster to the core areas of sports
marketing and gives an insight into the complex and fascinating nature of the
sports industry. The Advanced course is aimed to equip those who are seeking to
enter the sports sector, while also upskilling those already in it. These
courses, along with all relevant information will now be available to buy
online via the Rajasthan Royals website.
While the courses will
initially be offered at Foundation and Advanced levels, planning
for an Expert level programme is also under way. Successful
learners will receive a certificate upon completion of the course. Students
enrolling in the course will learn and refine skills in modern marketing
concepts and practices used in the sports industry.
As a franchise that
believes in the all-round development of its players, the certificate courses
are being offered for free to all the current and former Rajasthan Royals
players to continue their upskilling process and increase their opportunities
in life after cricket. The response from the players has been fantastic and
most of them have already decided to take up these courses to make the most of
their time being spent at home. "I was really interested to learn
more about this course when it was mentioned to me during the recent camp. I
think it is a fantastic learning opportunity and enables me to challenge myself
in rather different ways to practising in the nets. I'm very grateful to
Rajasthan Royals for the opportunity to gain new knowledge and give me a better
understanding of the sports industry," said Robin Uthappa.
Currently, in its fourth
year of the association, Deakin University was the first Australian University
to partner with an IPL Team and has been the official sports education partner
for Rajasthan Royals in the IPL seasons. Jointly the partners have promoted
sports education in India and facilitated research in sports management and
sports science while stressing the need for participation of Women in
Sport.
Ahead of the launch of the co-branded Sports Marketing programmes, DeakinCo. CEO, Glenn Campbell, said “We are delighted to be adding to the productive relationship Deakin University already enjoys with the Rajasthan Royals. India and Australia are renowned as sports-loving nation so I am confident that these programmes, jointly produced by a legendary Indian cricket team and a premier Australian university, will be well received both in India and further afield.”
Speaking
on the Certificate Programme going live, Jake Lush McCrum, Chief
Operating Officer, Rajasthan Royals said, “At a challenging time when
online access is the only access for many people around the world, we’re
pleased to launch this exciting course which we hope will inspire many people
to enter the sports industry, both in India and around the world. It has been a
pleasure to work with DeakinCo. to create this innovative programme which
offers the rigour of a university-style sports marketing course, combined with
real-life case studies. We look forward to engaging with graduates of these
courses and hopefully filling some management roles within the franchise
too!"
