On this page you find information about the options for students of Sport Studies - track ISMB and Sportkunde – leerroute SM&O to do a minor or an internship abroad.

Application procedure: minor at a foreign partner university

STEP 1: Internal selection procedure

Once we receive all the applications, the selection will be made by the international office based on the following documents:

The application link will be online mid January.

  • Personal motivation (use this form)
  • Transcript of obtained results - you can request this at the digitial service point, see this page how to do this
  • GPA (use this form)
  • Resume in English

Note: make sure to have a plan B and apply for a minor in the Netherlands. Check the overview of minors.

STEP 2: This can only be done once you have been selected by the International Office!

Application to a partner university

Once you are selected by the International Office 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 once you are selected.

Your placement is certain as soon as the partner university has accepted your application and once the exam board and the partner university have both agreed on the courses you chose. How to ask the exam board permission and other practical information will be shared in a 'pre-departure' meeting with the International Office.

  • You will take a total of 5 classes. 4 Graduate classes and 1 Undergraduate class. Out of the 4 Graduate classes, there are 3 mandatory classes. The other Graduate class is within the STHM MS in Sport Business programme. The Undergraduate can be in any department. For both elective courses you will be guided by the advisor for international students. Please see the link for more information and names of the courses.
    You have to follow those 3 mandatory courses because then you can easily roll in to their masters programme after you graduate (if you wish to follow up with a master after your graduation).

  • Check out the Study Abroad flyer with a short overview of the university.
  • Housing: Global Programs will help you navigate finding housing during your time at Temple University. You can live on-campus in a Temple owned and managed residence hall, or off campus in a privately managed apartment building. Find here all the information.

United States: Buffalo, NY

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'.

  • If you follow your minor abroad as a free mover, you have to pay tuition fees to both the foreign university as to AUAS.
  • If you study at a partner university, you only pay tuition fees to AUAS.
  • As a free mover you cannot apply for the Erasmus grant. If you do your minor outside of Europe, the FBSV scholarship and Holland Scholarship are available however.
  • The application procedure as a free mover usually takes longer and therefore it is advisable to start your search for a foreign study place on time (about a year in advance).
  • Sometimes we can set up a contract with the university you wish to go to, so you will not have to pay double tuition fees. Please contact the International office for more information.

Have a look at Centuri for an overview of the options and contact Claire Powell, the internship coordinator of Sport Studies and Sportkunde.

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.

United Kingdom: Loughborough University (Loughborough)
