Content:

The programme will provide students with coaching skills in various contexts. Students will gain knowledge of the changes which characterise sports today: New activities appear and old ones disappear, the coaching role changes and has to adapt to new requirements. The programme includes a clear specialisation profile, related to both theoretical and practical fields.

Course units:

Specialised Sport (30 ECTS) • Research Theory and Methodology, Bachelor Project (15 ECTS) • Training Theory and Sports Physiology II (15 ECTS)/ Sports Sociology (15 ECTS) / Sports Pedagogy and Sports Psychology II (15 ECTS)

Teaching and learning methods:

Much of the subject matter is presented in lectures. Students will be able to relate the teaching to their own experiences, thus stimulating engagement and discussion. The programme includes group work in which students will prepare and present work relating to issues important to the programme, either orally or in written form. This may involve themes from the lectures, or themes which the group feel to be particularly relevant.

Careers / further study:

The programme fulfils the admission requirements for enrolment to a Master’s programme, which will provide graduates with the opportunity of further studying the subject area in the context of cultural analytical and comparative approaches. The programme fits into a common Nordic Bachelor in Education in Sports. Employment may be found in schools, voluntary organisations, the public sector and other arenas. The programme may also be used as the third year of a Bachelor programme. The programme qualifies graduates for admission to the Master’s Degree Programme in Physical Education, Sport and Outdoor Life Studies.
