Master's Programme in Sports Physiology and Medicine

The Master’s Programme in Sports Physiology and Medicine is for those who already have a relevant bachelor’s degree and who want to further their understanding in the subject area.

The program gives you deeper knowledge about physical activity, nutrition, and exercise physiology. It also gives you the theoretical and practical tools required to conduct different physiological and biochemical measurements within the field of sports physiology.

The program is conducted in close relation to the sports physiology research conducted at Örebro University. The courses are designed to stimulate critical reflection and to further your ability to search for and evaluate information, independently follow the development of knowledge, conduct scientific studies, and communicate your own studies orally and in writing.

As this is an international master’s program, all courses are taught in English.

Örebro University is a young, modern and rapidly growing university with an ambitious agenda for the future. Our students and researchers are living proof of our aim to create an attractive place for both work and study.

Our vision - the courage to review and the ability to evolve – forms the base of our everyday work. Our master students come from around the world, and benefit from close contact with other students, teachers, researchers and professors - our class sizes are never more than 30 students.

We offer high-quality international master’s programmes in a variety of disciplines: social science, communication, statistics, informatics, chemistry, robotics, medicine, physiology and economics.

We have two campuses - the main campus and our specialised medical campus. Both are well-connected to the city centre of Örebro, as well as being close to nature.

Örebro also has one of the widest-ranging selections of sports and events available in any city in Sweden, and is enviably located - Stockholm, Gothenburg and even Oslo can be reached directly from Örebro.

We have a range of departments set up to help you from registering interest to registering for study. As a prospective student, you can get direct help with the application process; once accepted, we offer dedicated support with accommodation, visa queries and more. When you arrive in Örebro, you will be greeted by our Student Support team, who organise a comprehensive introduction programme for new arrivals.
