Aim of the Programme

The one-year study programme, Sport Studies, is a foundation programme for students who wish to work with sports in teaching and coaching. The study programme provides students with knowledge about how this work may be facilitated, and the importance of sport for the individual and society.

The study programme may form part of a Bachelor’s degree at other universities and university colleges.

Curriculum and structure

The study programme consists of practical and theoretical education in roughly equal parts. With the areas of sociology, pedagogy, sports biology and training theory as a starting point, the study programme focuses on sports issues and questions.

The university college reserves the right to make changes to the study programme.
