Sports Medicine is a part of medical science that includes applied exercise physiology and clinical physiology. The Master's programme covers the first of these, applied exercise physiology, which includes the science of physical activity with emphasis on physical exercise, how physical exercise can be applied to prevent and treat ill-health, and improvement of physical performance. Conducting, interpreting and applying physiological tests are used to adapt exercise for individuals and groups based on their circumstances and goals. Sports Medicine covers such subjects as physiology, nutrition, traumatology, kinesiology, medicine and rehabilitation.

Joost Vossers - Master's Degree in Artificial Intelligence
“What do you think about the programme and the teachers/teaching?
The programme is awesome! My programme is not that big, which makes it possible to form close relations with teachers and supervisors. Like I said, it’s quite diverse, and I’ve learned a lot about the different directions to pursue after my studies. Because of the small scale, the teachers are really involved with students, and they want to hear from us to improve their courses based on what we are interested in.”
Franziska Paul - Master's Programme in Business Development and Internationalism
“What is it that you like with the program so far?
I especially like the practical orientation and the fact that we had the chance to directly work together with well-established companies. Other than that, I like that the modules are run one after the other so you can fully concentrate on each of them.”
Tatiana Silva da Costa - Master's Programme in Accounting
