Abstract

Considering various themes, this study aims to examine the content of web sites of universities that provide sports management education in higher education level in Turkey and in England. Within this framework, the websites of the higher education institutions that provide sports management education are analyzed by using the content analysis (categorical) method which is common in qualitative studies. Findings of the study reveal the inadequacy of visual and verbal internet materials in the websites of Turkish Universities. Additionally, while all the themes put forward in Aligning a European Higher Education Structure in Sport Science (AEHESIS), alignment program are present in English Universities, there are some inadequacies in the websites of Turkish Universities.

Key words: Sport, education, sports management, sports management education.
