Sports Science is a cross-disciplinary field of studies that focuses on the individual athlete and sports culture. The Sports Science programme at the University of Gävle focuses on a healthy lifestyle and prepares students for working in sports and with physical activities that suit everyone.
The programme has two main tracks: Adapted Physical Activity (APA) and Doping. APA focuses on making groups of people in sports visible and including them in order to make possible a physically active lifestyle for all. The Doping track highlights the problems found in sports as well as the professional and recreational abuse of performance enhancing drugs.
After completing this programme you will be able to work in both the private and public sectors. You will gain deep knowledge of the sports industry and could work in organisation development or sports education.
