Sport Sciences: Sport in Society, Master's Programme (Two-Year)

Course objectives

The course aims for the student to develop an in-depth understanding of current research and development in sport sciences, and to deepen their methodological knowledge that can be used in scientific work and research at advanced level.

Course contents

The student works on identifying relevant current sport science issues related to sport in society. Focus is placed on the relationships between question, method and theory. The course deals with both qualitative and quantitative methods regarding the collection and processing of data.

The student thus further develops their capabilities to identify, manage, investigate and research relevant sport science issues focusing on the social science field. The student works both to analyse other people's research and to collect and analyse their own material based on various questions, which is presented in a "method portfolio". Finally, the student prepares a project plan for a research project.
