Study Details: MSc 2 years full-time, 120 ECTS, Aalborg
The master programme in Sports Technology at Aalborg University, Denmark, focuses on development of technological equipment and the interplay between equipment and human performance. In the projects, you may work with development and testing of advanced sports and health related products as for instance sports equipment, shoes, rackets, flooring and apparel.
The master programme includes a scientific communication course and it is possible to organize a semester abroad at 3rd semester, before the final thesis.
In order to apply, you must have a bachelor degree in Sports Science. However, if you hold a related bachelor degree (e.g. Physiotherapist) you have the possibility to qualify if supplementary courses within relevant scientific areas have been attained and a specific academic assessment has been made.
Please make sure you send your application form and further documentation via post to the International Office by the required deadline.
All international applicants (Scandinavian students exempted) must document basic written and spoken English by taking one of the following language tests.
Furthermore, please note the official language requirements for international students applying to Aalborg University are:
