Chapter 2: Admission, Degree Designation, Program Duration and Competence Profile

2.1 Admission Admission to the Master’s program in Sports Technology requires a Bachelor’s degree in Sports Science from a Danish University or the like. Students with another Bachelor's degree, upon application to the Board of Studies, will be admitted after a specific academic assessment if the applicant is deemed to have comparable educational prerequisites. The University can stipulate requirements concerning conducting additional exams prior to the start of study. 2.2 Degree designation in Danish and English The Master’s program entitles the graduate to the designation cand.scient.techn. (candidatus/candidata scientiarum technologiae) i idræt. The English designation is: Master of Science (MSc) in sports technology. 2.3 The program’s specification in ECTS credits The Master’s program is a 2-year, research-based, full-time study program. The program is set to 120 ECTS credits. 2.4 Competence profile on the diploma The following competence profile will appear on the diploma: A Candidatus graduate has the following competency profile: A Candidatus graduate has competencies that have been acquired via a course of study that has taken place in a research environment. A Candidatus graduate is qualified for employment on the labour market on the basis of his or her academic discipline as well as for further research (Ph.D.-programmes). A Candidatus graduate has, compared to a Bachelor, developed his or her academic knowledge and independence so as to be able to apply scientific theory and method on an independent basis within both an academic and a professional context.

2.5 Competence profile of the program Technology has become an inherent part of sports and the democratization of sports and leisure activities has opened possibilities for the integration of technology not only for elite sportsmen but also for the population in general.

Chapter 3: Content and Organization of the Program The program is structured in modules and organized as a problem-based study. A module is a program element or a group of program elements, which aims to give students a set of professional skills within a fixed time frame specified in ECTS credits, and concluding with one or more examinations within specific exam periods. Examinations are defined in the curriculum. The program is based on a combination of academic, problem-oriented and interdisciplinary approaches and organized based on the following work and evaluation methods that combine skills and reflection:

• Lectures • Classroom instruction • Project work • Workshops • Exercises (individually and in groups) • Teacher feedback • Reflection • Portfolio work

A sports science technologist should be able to work with technology for performance assessment of an athlete and should at the same time understand the technology behind the sportsequipment the athlete is using or in contact with. The focus in the course modules in the first semester will be on gaining knowledge and skills in assessing human performance and the related data analysing. The project during the first semester gives the opportunity to get more in depth knowledge and skills in one of the human performance assessment methods. The focus in the second semester is about the equipment and technology surrounding the atlete. The course modules in the second semester will help the student to gain knowledge and skills in assessing different kind of characteristics of this equipment including the relationship with production in the industry. The third semester gives the student the possibility to get experience in applying scientific methods and/or performing scientific experiments related to Sports Technology at a University Department or in a company in Denmark or abroad. Here is the possibility to combine the previous obtained skills in a project. The Master’s thesis is the last element of the scientific education, with the aim to integrate and/or deepen previously acquired skills and to display the ability to perform scientific work.

Chapter 5: Other Provisions 5.1 Rules concerning written work, including the Master’s thesis In the assessment of all written work, regardless of the language it is written in, weight is also given to the student's spelling and formulation ability, in addition to the academic content. Orthographic and grammatical correctness as well as stylistic proficiency are taken as a basis for the evaluation of language performance. Language performance must always be included as an independent dimension of the total evaluation. However, no examination can be assessed as ‘Pass’ on the basis of good language performance alone; similarly, an examination normally cannot be assessed as ‘Fail’ on the basis of poor language performance alone. The Board of Studies can grant exemption from this in special cases (e.g., dyslexia or a native language other than Danish). The Master’s thesis must include an English summary.1 If the project is written in English, the summary must be in Danish.2 The summary must be at least 1 page and not more than 2 pages. The summary is included in the evaluation of the project as a whole. 5.2 Rules concerning credit transfer (merit), including the possibility for choice of modules that are part of another program at a university in Denmark or abroad In the individual case, the Board of Studies can approve successfully completed (passed) program elements from other Master’s programs in lieu of program elements in this program (credit transfer). The Board of Studies can also approve successfully completed (passed) program elements from another Danish program or a program outside of Denmark at the same level in lieu of program elements within this curriculum. Decisions on credit transfer are made by the Board of Studies based on an academic assessment. See the Framework Provisions for the rules on credit transfer. 5.3 Rules for examinations The rules for examinations are stated in the Examination Policies and Procedures published by the Faculties of Engineering, Science and Medicine on their website. 5.4 Exemption In exceptional circumstances, the Board of Studies study can grant exemption from those parts of the curriculum that are not stipulated by law or ministerial order. Exemption regarding an examination applies to the immediate examination. 5.5 Additional information The current version of the curriculum is published on the Board of Studies’ website, including more detailed information about the program, including exams. Completion of the Master’s program The Master’s program must be completed no later than four years after it was begun. Rules and requirements concerning the reading of texts in foreign languages and a statement of the foreign language knowledge this assumes It is assumed that the student can read academic texts in modern Danish, Norwegian, Swedish and English and use reference works, etc., in other European languages

1 Or another foreign language (upon approval from the Board of Studies. 2 The Board of Studies can grant exemption from this.
