1. BACHELOR'S PROGRAMME IN SPORT STUDIES 1.1 DEGREE PROGRAMME OUTLINE Sports professionals are active in a variety of positions and within many different organisations in the world of sports. While the 'power of sport' affords ample opportunities for sports professionals, they will need to adapt constantly to a transitioning sports environment in which major changes take place every day. This chapter describes the characteristics that distinguish sports professionals and illustrates the type of roles that sports professionals can take on. Sport Studies Programme Flower In addition to the four-year Dutch-language bachelor's programme, a three-year bachelor's programme in Sport Studies taught in English has been offered since the 2015–2016 academic year (accessible to international and pre-university (VWO) students). The degree awarded at the end of the three-year programme is equal to the four year Dutch-language bachelor’s programme. Students are awarded a bachelor’s diploma in Sport Studies. Figure 1 shows the Sport Studies Flower, a symbol for the Sport Studies programme in Groningen. The orange pistil of the flower signifies the sports professional's identity. The grey leaves signify the national Sport Studies competences. The black leaves signify the Hanze University of Applied Sciences (UAS) focus areas. The four Hanze UAS focus areas are explained further in the professional profile for the Sport Studies degree programme. The personal and social development aspects are discussed below. Identity of the sports professional A professional is able to apply specialist knowledge, experience, skills and attitude in their professional context. They do this in a competent and ethical manner. In so doing, the professional's aim is to bring about continuous improvements in their field (professionalisation) and contribute to the further development of the profession alongside fellow professionals (Ruijters & Simons, Figure 1 Sport Studies Flower 2015). Hanze UAS sports professionals are trained to become T-shaped professionals: professionals with a broad foundation in various sports domains and relevant knowledge areas. At the same time they are specialised in a particular domain in order to add value directly to the field of Sport. On the one hand, there is a great demand for broadly trained general professionals, who are able to straddle various domains and fields of knowledge. On the other, society requires experts who are sufficiently skilled to carry out high-level tasks. These two aspects come together in the identity of the sports professional. It goes without saying that the sports professional's identity is firmly rooted in sport. Sports professionals have sports expertise, understand the world of sports and are able to stand out. They demonstrate their own professional added value in the sports community. The intention of the English-language Sport Studies degree programme is to train students for the international professional field. As regards the Dutch-language bachelor's programme in Sport Studies (Sportkunde) focus is on both the national and international professional field. More information about the last programme can be found in the “Teaching and Examination Regulations” of that programme. Teaching and Examination Regulations, Sport Studies 2021–2022 Page 4 of 44
Hanze UAS's School of Sport Studies, and the bachelor's programme in Sport Studies in particular, are
convinced that sport and physical exercise have the power to stimulate individuals and communities to
become more active, to forge connections, and to encourage people to take an active part in society
and lead active and healthy lifestyles that contribute to well-being and a good quality of life.
Expertise
Sports professionals are expected to develop their expertise on the basis of the identity described above.
Sports professionals are capable of switching between a variety of tasks and roles: supervising activities on
the pitch one moment, while organising and managing projects/organisations or developing strategies and
policies the next. Their competences are a combination of knowledge, skills and attitude, allowing them
to demonstrate their mastery of a task related to sport and physical exercise. The competences have been
formulated with the higher professional education (HBO) standard in mind. The national professional
profile lists the following competences, which are also reflected in the Sport Studies Programme Flower
(Figure 1):
• Researching and developing: Sports professionals research and design sport and exercise options.
• Coordinating, positioning and supervising: Sports professionals coordinate, position and supervise
projects and programmes promoting sports and exercise.
• Leading, managing and organising: Sports professionals manage and oversee the work processes of
a sports and exercise organisation, demonstrating enterprise when doing so.
• Evaluating and advising: Sports professionals develop, assess and advise on strategy and policy
concerning sports and exercise. Sports professionals manage the policy cycle with a view to
safeguarding and developing the continuity and quality of the sports and exercise options as well
as the organisation itself.
Personal and social development
Hanze UAS regards it as its particular mission to ensure that every member of the learning community is
aware of their social responsibility. 'Because teaching is more than just knowledge transfer, we also encourage personal
and social development', according to Hanze UAS, a philosophy we support fully.
Development, innovation, being inspirational and simultaneously 'delivering'. This means being responsive
to and responsible for both ourselves and the people around us. Personal and social development is part
of the development of employees and the subject of team-building. These two aspects come together in
the identity of the sports professional. Hanze UAS regards normative professionalism as the result of lifelong
learning on the basis of self-reflection. After all, there is a moral as well as a technical and communicative
aspect to professional conduct. Aside from doing things right, you also need to do the right things. This
means that professionals should always take an evidence-informed approach to the consequences of their
actions. We encourage students and staff to care of the world and people around them, both nearby and
further afield. We allow students to experience how they can use their personality and professional skills
to make a difference. We promote the practise of students basing their self-esteem, in part, on the
significance they can derive from relationships with the lives of others. This happens while exercising their
profession, as well as on what their profession can mean to those lives. Last but not least, we encourage
students to take up a position in the social debate.

Teaching and Examination Regulations, Sport Studies 2021–2022 Page 7 of 442. INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES 2.1 IDENTITY OF THE SPORTS PROFESSIONAL The identity of the sports professional provides a framework of values and principles. Those form the integral basis for the four nationally defined degree programme competences, which have been embedded in the Hanze UAS focus areas. Together, they constitute the Groningen profile of the sports professional. On the basis of the national professional profile, the Sport Studies degree programme has elaborated these competences into learning outcomes at the degree programme and semester level. The identity of the sports professional focuses on being good at your job and doing it with conviction. Your professional identity forms the essence of what it means for you to be a sports professional: What is typical of you? The identity of the sports professional is apparent in the qualities you recognise in yourself and the ones that others recognise in you. These qualities and characteristics are recognisably your own and nobody else's. In this sense, the identity of the sports professional goes beyond mere technical professionalism (i.e. knowledge, skills and profiles) and dovetails with the aspect of personal and social development. Aside from mastering knowledge and skills, you will need to be articulate the human, subjective and moral aspects of professional conduct. Within the Sport Studies programme, the identity of the sports professional is considered the motor of professional development. Based on a reflective and entrepreneurial attitude, students learn to understand their principles, explain them and convert them into action. In this way the students gain an understanding of themselves as a person and as a sports professionals. This involves reflection, self-knowledge, the ability to manage conflict, ethics and critical thinking. 2.2 PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCES The Sport Studies Groningen programme adopts a competence-based approach to work and study. Central to this educational concept are strong links with the professional field and a primary focus on the professional development of students and the growth of their competences. Competence-based education is characterised by the development of knowledge, skills and attitudes in situations derived from professional practice. Our teaching philosophy is based on a continuous process of competence acquisition (ongoing development), interspersed with regular feedback and assessment. Throughout the degree programme, students work on professional performances and products of increasing complexity. In so doing, they gradually become more responsible themselves for selecting the professional performances that lead to competence development. Competences of the sports professional Based on the national competences, the Sport Studies degree programme has developed the following learning outcomes at the degree programme level. The learning outcomes have been broken down into learning outcomes per semester (or per block in the first year) at the unit of study level. The table below (Table 1) contains an overview of the competences and learning outcomes. The learning outcomes are related to several phases of the degree programme and to individual units of study. This is shown in the learning outcomes matrix (see Appendix 2). Teaching and Examination Regulations, Sport Studies 2021–2022 Page 8 of 44

Teaching and Examination Regulations, Sport Studies 2021–2022 Page 9 of 44Dublin descriptors
Agreements have been made in Europe on the general level of the bachelor’s programme. These agreements
have been laid down in the so-called Dublin descriptors. The national profile of the Sport Studies
professional must relate to the Dublin descriptors. The table below (Table 3) gives an overview of the
Dublin descriptors and how they relate to the HBO standard and the national professional profile.
A total of five descriptors have been identified:
1. knowledge and understanding;
2. applying knowledge and understanding;
3. making judgements;
4. communication;
5. learning proficiencies.

Teaching and Examination Regulations, Sport Studies 2021–2022 Page 10 of 442.3 SPORT STUDIES GRONINGEN PROGRAMME
At the Sport Studies degree programme, we believe in the intrinsic and extrinsic value of sport and physical
exercise. We train our students to make use of these values. Within the Sport Studies programme, we
distinguish between three key values of sport, in line with the national professional profile for Sport
Studies:
• The social value of sport
(for a better world)
• The health value of sport
(for a vital society)
• The economic value of sport
(unlimited business opportunities)
Figure 2: The three values of the Sport
Studies programme
Within the Sport Studies degree programme at Hanze UAS's School of Sport Studies, these three values are
emphasised equally (see Figure 2) in an international context. Herein this programme differs from the
Dutch Sport Studies (Sportkunde) program, which focusses on the national- and to a lesser extent
international context.
These various values are often reflected in reality, professional practice, and in the programme. Often, the
values go hand-in-hand with social and other innovations. At the same time, we note that different sports
objectives often place more emphasis on one value than on another.
The graduation profiles
In the final stage of their degree programme, students work on a complex problem within an organization
from the professional practice. The student works in this project within two or more values of sport.
2.4 SPORTS PROFESSIONAL CAREER PROSPECTS AND ROLES
Developments in society, higher education and the world of sports (see the professional profile for Sport
Studies) have led to a significant expansion of the professional field of sports professionals. There is now a
demand on the labour market for well-educated managers, policy advisers, consultants, mediators,
marketeers, project leaders and executives with knowledge of sports and movement principles, both in the
for-profit, non-profit and not-for-profit sectors.
The breadth of the sports professional's skill set is demonstrated by the ability to switch between
management and implementation at the strategic, tactical and operational levels. This will happen from a
variety of perspectives: performance, participation and vitality. To give an idea of the career prospects of
sports professionals and their potential roles, here are some examples: Elite sports coordinator, programme
manager, team manager, event manager, sports marketer, movement consultant, healthy ageing/lifestyle
coach, neighbourhood sports coach, combined position, club manager, association support officer, charity
support officer and social entrepreneur.

3.4 STUDY PATHS
Sport Studies programme (EN)
Students study within an international environment, where they learn to develop the Sport Studies
competences (identical to those offered in the Dutch-language programme). Upon completion, students
receive a bachelor's degree in Sport Studies.
3.5 COMPULSORY ATTENDANCE
Mandatory participation applies to specific components of the Sport Studies programme curriculum. All
tutorials, practicals, guest lectures/tutorials and the international games are compulsory. In several cases,
active participation constitutes part of the assessment. Students are expected not only to attend, but also
to participate actively during all timetabled classes. The assumption is therefore made that students will
attend all classes and activities – both lecturers and fellow students are counting on everybody's active
participation in the various teaching methods! The associated attitude is important both to the students'
studies and to a career in sport.
Participation is recorded by lecturers and collected by coaches. In cases of illness, students must report sick
to their lecturer by email.

The honours talent programme (HTP) for which students registered before 1 September 2021 comprises a
total of 23 EC credits for Sport Studies students, in addition to the regular study programme. The HTP is
spread over 3 years. Due to the diversity in starting times and the individual freedom to determine the
pace and scope per semester, the curriculum overview is not strictly linked to study years and / or fixed
semesters. There is, however, a sequence of programme components. The honours student is responsible
for directing and monitoring his / her progress in the programme and is coached in this by his / her
honours coach.
o The Institute for Sports Studies is responsible for the supply and organization of
the Sports Studies line (17 EC). This consists of:
o Personal projects (11 EC)
o Activities in, for and with the HIS Honours Community (6 EC)

form of:

The renewed Honours Talent Programme 2.0 offers students starting from September 1, 2021 the
opportunity to participate in labs of 5EC. Each lab is completed with an Edubadge in which the contents
of the lab are described. During their studies, students of ALO and Sports Science can participate in 6 labs
with which 30EC can be obtained in addition to the regular study program; Students of Sports Studies can
participate in 4 labs during their studies with which 20 EC can be obtained in addition to the regular
study program.
The labs are offered by the schools and the Hanze Honours College:
o In 2021-2022, the Institute for Sports Studies will organize two labs in which the Honours students of
Sports Studies will participate:
Lab 1 The value of sport (Dutch) - implementation semester 3
Lab 2 Move the world, using sport as a tool for positive change - implementation semester 4
During the labs, an appropriate method of communication is used in consultation between students and (guest) lecturers.
o The Hanze Honours College offers HG-wide labs for honours students of all schools. Information about
the offer and the registration method will be communicated by the HHC to students who are registered
at their school as honours students. They can follow an HG-wide lab during one of the study years in
which they participate in the HTP.
o Students can participate in so-called punch card activities (short-term activities such as a guest lecture,
master class, workshop, excursion, debate, etc.) within or outside Hanze University of Applied Sciences; the
student makes his / her own choices and thus collects "punches" for the Punchcard lab that can be filled
for a maximum period of 3 study years and converted into 5 EC after completion.
The lab is rounded off with a CGI with the in-house Honours coach. The exact conditions of the lab have
been described by the HHC and are available to students and coaches.

4.3 EXCELLENCE
Hanze UAS Honours programme
Hanze UAS seeks to achieve an ambitious study culture and offers additional challenges to outstanding
students. Students who want to bring out the best in themselves and relish a challenge will find
opportunities within their school and programme. In accordance with our excellence policy the school of
Sport Studies offers the Honours Talent Programma (old style and new style).
Honours Talent Programme – old style (students started before September 2021)
• The Sport Studies Honours Talent Programme (HTP) at the School of Sport Studies starts in the
second semester of the first year and is distributed across the programme. The programme
carries a workload of 23 ECTS in addition to the standard curriculum of the bachelor’s
programme. It has personal projects, community and interdisciplinary strands. Students taking
the personal projects strand engage in applied research, consultancy and innovation in the field
of the sport professional. The community theme will involve organising activities for the school
and broader society. In the interdisciplinary theme, students choose from the current social
themes offered across Hanze UAS as interdisciplinary modules and -projects.
• Honours Talent Programmes are recorded on the diploma and the diploma supplement upon
graduation.
• Criteria for admission are: positive study coach advice + sufficient progress in regular program
Registration for this programme is no longer possible from September 2021.
Teaching and Examination Regulations, Sport Studies 2021–2022 Page 21 of 44Honours Talent Programme – new style (students started from September 2021)
• The honours talent programme covers 20 ects and consists of 4 honours labs of 5 ects each. It is
an extracurricular program, in addition to the regular study programme of the bachelor's
program. A matching activity takes place in order to participate in the honours talent program.
• Upon successful completion of an honours lab of 5 ECTS, the student will receive an edubadge
for that lab.
• If a student graduates in the meantime, but has obtained 20 ECTS credits (completed 4 honours
labs), the student will receive a certificate.
• Selection procedure: after information and orientation on the program, the student must register
by sending an e-mail to the honours coordinator (Jacqueline Selker E: j.l.j.selker@pl.hanze.nl).
The mail is supported with the following attachments:
- A motivation letter + link to a personal portfolio / personal website / LinkedIn page;
- A reference from the student counselor, showing that he / she supports
participation in the HTP;
- A list of marks from Osiris showing that all credits of the regular programme to be
earned up to that point have been obtained.
After these documents have been screened by honours coaches, a matching moment will follow.
After successful matching, the student may start with the HTP.
Elite sports
The School of Sport Studies has a unique scheme to accommodate qualified elite athletes. The scheme
includes two parts. Firstly, the study speed, timetabling, exams etc. can be modified to allow for intensive
training and competitions. There are also scholarships available.
The second component consists of support for sport participation. Since the School is located in the Willem-
Alexander Sports Centre, there are modern facilities available, allowing for strength testing, movement
analyses, playing formations for team sports and performance diagnoses to be performed in the Sports
Field Lab. Because the School of Sport Studies provides the highest-level trainer/coach programme in the
Netherlands (Topcoach5), the School has access to cutting-edge knowledge in the field of professional
sport. This expertise can be put to use when supporting students practising sport at an elite level.
You can find more information about this scheme on our website, www.hanze.nl/topsport. For additional
information, students can email elite sports coordinator Arjan Taaij, e-mail: a.taaij@pl.hanze.nl
Elite sports students who are eligible for the scheme draw up a study contract in conjunction with their
study adviser at the start of the academic year. Among other things, this contract includes agreements
regarding attendance, assessment and participation in the 'sports practice' programme components. Study
contracts must be approved by the examination board.
Teaching and Examination Regulations, Sport Studies 2021–2022 Page 22 of 444.4 FINAL-STAGE PROGRAMME

The graduation plan will only be valid for one year. If you do not graduate within the year, the thesis/final
project supervisor will determine whether the plan is still feasible. If it is not, you will be asked to develop
a new graduation plan and submit it to the examiners for approval in accordance with the rules in force
at that time.
The degree programme concludes with an interview. The final interview is an integrated assessment at the
end of the degree programme, in which students demonstrate their ability to perform as a beginning sports
