In 2006, Hassan was awarded a Distinguished Research Fellowship by the University of Ulster.[6] His views on sport governance have included observations on the efficacy of the sporting model employed by the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA).[7] In August 2012, he was a speaker at an event held in the Oxford University Club.[8]

Hassan is a co-director of the Special Olympics Regional Research Collaborating Centre for Europe-Eurasia, which was opened at Ulster University's Jordanstown campus in April 2011.[9] He is also a member of the European Federation of Adapted Physical Activity and delivered an address at its conference in May 2012 in the Republic of Ireland.[10]

As of 2015, Hassan was academic editor of the sports academic journal "Sport in Society",[11] and editor of the Foundations in Sport Management series by the academic publishers Routledge.[12] Also in 2015, he was appointed to a strategic committee, 'Towards 150', of the GAA.[2]

As of 2017, he had published 14 books and over 160 other research outputs, including 75 peer reviewed articles in a number of journals and book chapters.[13]
