The first year is the so-called propaedeutic phase (60 ECTS). In this phase, you will develop professional competences by working on several projects for individuals, businesses or organisations. The second year focuses on creating and managing change during a work placement. In the last year, students will work at a professional organisation for their graduation project. During the first phase of the project students will evaluate the organisation. This will form their research thesis. Based on this thesis, students will develop and implement services, products and innovations for the organisation according to the three core values of sports.
