Year 1 starts with an introduction to sport, management and business in an international setting. This prepares you for the rest of your studies. About half of your time is spent in sport classes. At Sport Studies we use sport as a tool to teach leadership and management skills. You will also take several theory subjects, such as marketing and finance. You will go on 2 international field trips in Europe. In the second semester, you will focus on event management.

Year 2 is built around 3 main themes: Research and Advice, Project and Organisation, and Management and Sport. These themes help you improve your organisational skills and give you a better understanding of the business side of sport. You will also continue with sport classes and focus on your personal development. In the third quarter, you will do a 10-week internship at a sport organisation abroad.

In year 3, you focus on growing as a future sport professional. In the first semester, you choose a minor. In the second, you dive into business topics like entrepreneurship, research and strategy. The entrepreneurship quarter starts with a week on the island of Texel, where you and 2 classmates develop your own start-up idea. You learn to think creatively, solve problems and pitch to investors. This year also includes a professional specialisation.

You start year 4 with a 20-week full-time internship abroad, working on complex projects. In the final semester, you do your graduation project, based on research at an international organisation of your choice.
