Sports and Physical Education, one year

The programme is decentralized with teaching sessions at Meråker Upper Secondary School. The programme is designed to suit high level athletes - primarily within cross-country and biathlon, with part-time study of the course of two years (4 semesters).

Teaching and learning focus on practical activities within different environments, including activities suitable for community sports. Students' perceptions and reflections, combined with theoretical knowledge, provide a valuable background for training as well as the student's personal development.

Interdisciplinary activities incorporate physics, biomechanics, physiology, sociology and psychology.

The study programme consists of the following courses:

• Practical knowledge about sport 1, 15 credits
• Social science topics in sport, 15 credits
• Natural science topics in sport, 15 credits
• Practical knowledge about sport 2, 15 credits
• Each topic constitutes a separate unit in the final assessment. See the course descriptions. The topics are run mainly in concentrated batches, but may touch upon themes that are addressed over longer periods of time.
