B.Sc. Sport i Performanse

High- and top-performance sports are becoming increasingly prominent, nationally, internationally and from a scientific, economic and journalistic point of view. The B.Sc. in Sport and Performance offers a practically based qualification with a thorough scientific foundation for fields of work in top-performance sport.

The B.Sc. in Sport and Performance is designed to attract students who are not only interested in practical sport but also in how human physical performance is produced and how to improve it through training. Applicants should have an affinity to high performance sport, but they do not need to be involved in it themselves.

This degree programme is centred around acquiring teaching and coaching skills in the area of high-performance sport in at least two different types of sport. In addition, students learn about the scientific, educational and social foundation of the phenomenon of human performance and performance ability. This knowledge is applied to performance control and development.
