Individual project

This course is aimed at you who, within your student, research or professional role, want to deepen your knowledge in a method, a theory, practical work or equivalent in the field of sports science. The project can be located at GIH, at another university, or in a company or organization. The planned project must be clearly related to sports science.

As a student, you are responsible for finding a suitable project and supervisor. During the first course week, a preliminary project plan must have been approved by the course supervisor. The project plan should contain a brief description of the project, the intended supervisor with a description of suitable scientific and/or practical competence for supervision, a timetable for the project, and suggestions for scientific literature to be used as a starting point. The project plan must be signed by the intended supervisor.

After completing the project, you write and submit a report that will be your examination assignment. In the report, you get the opportunity to give an account of the project, as well as describe and reflect on experiences and development from the implementation of the project.

The course runs at half speed.
