Course content

The Master Thesis must include a scientific analysis of a topic within the framework of sport sciences. The thesis should be between 70-80 pages and must not exceed 32 000 words (table of contents, reference list and attachments are excluded). The thesis can be written as a monograph or a scientific article styled for a predefined journal. If the thesis is written as an article, it must be followed by an introductory narrative of up to 7 500 words.

The student must participate in the compulsory master's thesis seminars. Supervision constitutes a substantial part of the work with the thesis. This ensures that the student is offered the necessary knowledge and involves an essential control of the collecting and treatment of data, within ethical research guidelines. Supervision is therefore a compulsory component of the programme for students who wish to submit a master’s thesis.
