What it is

You study pedagogy, psychology, biomedicine, sports training and teaching methods relevant to a chosen sport. The first one to two years establish applied sport science and basic athletic skills, which you then apply in specialised courses and practical training in years two and three. You choose one of ten sports: track and field, gymnastics, swimming, football, ice hockey, volleyball, basketball, tennis, handball or combat sports. Graduates are able to design and carry out training programmes for athletes of all ages and performance levels.

Two ways to take it
