Making the transition from athlete to sport professional was important for Bacchus. Her Postgraduate Diploma in Sport Management at The UWI, offered in collaboration with the International Centre for Sports Studies (CIES) under the auspices of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), provided an excellent base. It covered Strategic Management of Sports, Sports Marketing and Sponsorship, Law and Sports, Communication in Sports, Sports Finance, Sports Facilities Management, Event Management and Human Resource Management (HRM) in Sports. The Postgraduate Diploma gave Bacchus insight into the other side of sport: “you gain a much greater appreciation for your managers, your liaisons, and the people who are there working behind the scenes to ensure your paperwork is in order.” Local CIES Coordinator and Coordinator of The UWI/FIFA/CIES Postgraduate Diploma Programme Charisse Broome said that “Trinbagonians make up the highest percentage of the FIFA Master studentship and we are incredibly proud and pleased that a graduate of the Post Graduate Sports Programme here joins them.” Professor Surendra Arjoon, Department of Management Studies Head, is pleased at Bacchus’ accomplishment: “We can boast that graduates of The UWI/FIFA/CIES Programme are able to make their mark in both local and international sport. Her achievement bears testament that our graduates are adequately prepared to compete on an international level and we extend our congratulations and best wishes for success at the FIFA Master Programme.” Organised by the International Centre for Sport Studies in partnership with three universities - De Montfort University in Leicester (England), SDA Bocconi School of Management in Milan (Italy), and the University of Neuchâtel (Switzerland) - and endorsed by FIFA, the FIFA Master in Management, Law and Humanities of Sport was created to promote management education within the sports world. It offers a dynamic international environment with some 20 different nationalities in a class of 30 postgraduates selected each year. The international multi-disciplinary approach provides postgraduates with the opportunity to learn a broad range of subjects and develop their analytical skills to better cope with the fast-changing trends in the sport industry.
