Best university for Sports management in the UK?

Hi, I am from India & planning to do a Masters in Sports management this September, which is the best Uni's to pursue this course ? With whatever I could find on the internet, I found Edinburgh, Stirling, Exeter and Bath to be good options. Loughborough seems to be a bit expensive, so have dropped it for now. Considering the cost of living, part time jobs & placement options, what would you suggest ? Or is Europe a viable option ?

And just for a bit of background, I have a complete IT profile at the moment and have always passionate about entering into the Sports management sector, so I figured a Masters/MBA in Sports would be the best option to have my foot in the door.

Loughborough really is the best in the world when it comes to Sport Management but their entry requirements are relatively competitive and you need a decent level of English on a recognised English Language test.

I know that the international fees for Loughborough seem expensive, but they really are on par with all the other universities you have mentioned. Thing to yourself - would I rather apply to the best university in the world when it comes to sport for cheaper or £1,000 more than the other universities that you have mentioned? I know what my decision would be.
On top of that, as a current Loughborough University student, I can tell you that Loughborough is one of the cheapest places you can live in the UK right now. We are also one of the only places in major UK universities that is currently still unaffected by a housing crisis, so it is relatively easy to find housing too.

Thank you but are admissions open for the course? I reached out via my counselor a couple of weeks back and heard that the course wasn't available for Sports management.
