The programme of Sport Studies/Sportkunde set up agreements with foreign universities, which makes it possible for you to follow your minor at one of these so-called 'partner universities' without paying double tuition fees. Each year a fixed number of our students can go to these universities and a fixed number of their students can come here in return ('exchange'). Depending on the agreements made per partner, we can exchange two to five students per academic year.
Until the 20th of February you could apply for the internal selection procedure for a minor at one of the foreign partner universities of Sportkunde/Sport studies in semester 1 or 2 of study year 2020-2021.
There will be another selection round in september 2020, for those who want to study abroad in semester 2 of study year 2020-2021. Note that not all spots will be available then, as some may already have been taken during the first round. However, one or two new partners may end up in the list.
The selection is based upon the GPA's of the candidates. The GPA's are calculated upon the grades students received from the beginning of their first study year until a cut-off-date soon after the application deadline. The GPA's will be compared to each other: the higher your GPA, the higher the chance that you will be selected for your first choice.
Once you are selected by us for a certain partner university, you have to formally apply for this university. The procedure and deadline depend on the university; you will receive more information from the international office when you are selected.
Your placement is only certain once the partner has accepted your application and once there is an agreement between our exam board and the partner on the courses you choose to follow.
When you study your minor abroad, you usually have to choose your own set of courses of 30 ECTS in total, which will count as your minor altogether. At some universities you can follow a fixed 30 ECTS programme, similar to a minor.
Have a look at the step-by-step plan to get a quick overview of what you have to do to follow your minor abroad.
Below you can find an overview of the partner universities of Sport Studies and Sportkunde, including important links, information on courses, tips from other students, etc.
It's also possible to follow your minor at a foreign university with which Sport Studies and Sportkunde do not have an agreement. In this case you will become a so-called 'free mover'.
Have a look at Centuri for an overview of the options and contact Claire Powell, the internship coordinator of Sport Studies - track ISMB and Sportkunde – leerroute SM&O.
If you are planning on studying or doing an internship abroad, you have to ask for approval from the exam board for the programme you wish to follow. This is necessary in order to make sure that the credits you receive abroad will be accepted here.
Refer to this page for more information on the Sport Studies - track ISMB exam board and to download the request form. Note that you have to add the description of each course you wish to take at the foreign university, as each course needs to be approved.
There are a few minors of other AUAS faculties in which students go abroad part of the semester. You can also apply for one of these minors.
For instance:
You can also follow your master abroad, after finishing your bachelor in Sport Studies or Sportkunde. With the following universities and master programmes we have good contacts and/or experiences. Of course you can also search for a foreign master abroad by yourself.
