The propaedeutic phase consists of a pre-challenge (10 ECTS), a challenge (15 ECTS), compulsory (30 ECTS) and optional modules (5 ECTS).
The main phase offers more options for the student. In addition to a minor (30 ECTS) and challenges (45 ECTS), this phase consists of compulsory modules (25 ECTS) and optional
modules (20 ECTS). Examples of elective modules are: Sports business and development, Social and online marketing, Advanced sports coaching, Entrepreneurship in sports with target groups and Public and commercial financing of sports.
