M.A. program "International Sport Development and Politics"

Aiming at a comprehensive understanding of structures, actors and conflicts in sport and physical activity, it provides an international focus on sport, including transnational and comparative dimensions. In order to obtain a profound knowledge and understanding of sport in its political, social, cultural and economic framework, the programme combines sport sciences with humanities, social sciences and economics.
