To be admitted to the doctoral program at NSSS, the applicant must have received a masters degree in sport science/cand.scient in sport science or equivalent education at this level and be able to document physical education/sport relevant competence, or in some way be able to document sport scientific knowledge and insight.
Applicants to the doctoral studies must as the primary rule have received a grade point average of minimum B/2.5 or better on their master degree/cand.scient degree.
