Student collaboration – a mutual opportunity

In order to contribute to developing skills for a wide-ranging labour market, we stimulate organisations to collaborate with our students in various forms. In our physical education teacher training programme, this takes place in the regulated form of work placements. 

We will tailor student collaboration to your needs, using various types of work placements and mentorship throughout the study programme, projects and degree project.

Contact collaboration coordinator Aage Radmann to discuss the possibilities.

Sports research closely linked to the community

Our research is interdisciplinary and maintains a high level of social relevance. Our point of departure is that social aspects – such as gender equality, socioeconomics and cultural diversity – will always impact on sport, while at the same time the importance of sport is such that it must inevitably have a corresponding impact on society.

The department offers a well-developed collaborative network in the field of sports, with research and development projects conducted in collaboration with a number of sports-related stakeholders in the community.
