“…Linked to this challenge is the dramatic change of the student population within the past decade (Cotton, Nash and Kneale, 2017;Jahn et al, 2017).

From an economic and political perspective, the sports sector is of particular importance and provides many opportunities for sports education. The general transformation of the education sector in European countries represents likewise challenges and opportunities for sport. This book chapter aims to systematise the qualification landscape in sport and to discuss the challenges and opportunities of the sports qualification systems with the focus on sport management and coaching. The authors identified three dimensions for systematising the sport qualification landscape: (1) job category, (2) occupational level and (3) qualification provider.Following this approach, they discuss the challenges and opportunities for the sports qualification systems. The book chapter also deals with the employability of sport managers and coaches and concludes with future developments and challenges for providing high quality qualifications in sport.

The management of diversity and inclusion is a major challenge for businesses in developing inclusive products and marketing strategies focused on people with disabilities. Universities can foster positive attitudes toward inclusiveness if they facilitate student recognition of differences as assets and enable them to appreciate the creation of communities where different individuals are valued. This study analyzes the experience of an innovative undergraduate seminar on inclusive marketing based on social learning theory. Designed and conducted by a former marketing manager with visual impairment, together with university scholars, the course develops the learning potential of inclusive marketing strategies and tactics through role-playing exercises and case studies. By presenting the inclusive marketing seminar theoretical framework, syllabus, and impact on students’ attitudes, this research analyzes an approach to training future marketing professionals and leaders to understand people with disabilities as important stakeholders and provides key insights for universities, companies, and governments in the application of inclusive marketing and communication strategies.

“…In higher education, Bnon-traditional^is used in different ways by different authors to characterise historically under-represented groups, ranging from mature students (James and Busher 2017) to student athletes(Jahn et al 2017); here, the term is applied particularly to staff and students from lower socio-economic backgrounds.…”

“If they’ve had a middle class upbringing that’s not their fault”: the professional practices and personal identities of admissions staff at selective universities in England

2018

The role of staff involved with undergraduate admissions and recruitment has changed since the turn towards marketisation in higher education. This article focuses on the system in England following both a sharp rise in student fees and an associated tendency for the public university agenda and related social priorities, such as widening participation, to come up against more private and commercial priorities, such as business engagement, league table performance and internationalisation. Drawing on evidence from detailed interviews with admissions personnel, both academic and non-academic, across three disciplines within one higher prestige university, we revisit the notion of selectivity and the practice of selection. Tensions are revealed between two opposing approaches: a more traditional model of university admissions, as based on local knowledge and sensitivity towards underrepresented groups, and a purportedly merit-driven model, as driven by perceived market position. We explore the intricate and often unexpected ways in which staff reconcile their professed beliefs with their professional practices, and the complex identity work needed to renegotiate personal values in light of shifting institutional needs. Findings are offered as a microcosm for broader trends in the higher education sector.
