Become a true expert in the sport you love with the MSc in Sport Coaching, specializing in water polo, basketball, table tennis, swimming or fencing. This program is designed for coaches and sports professionals who want to become internationally recognized specialists rather than “just” coaches. You will be prepared for diverse career paths, from leading youth or senior teams as a Head Coach to building full talent-development systems as a Youth Development Coordinator. The program also opens opportunities to work with national federations and youth national teams, contributing to long-term athlete development strategies. You can become a technical–tactical specialist, performance analyst, or sport-specific strength and conditioning coach supporting evidence-based decisions. Graduates may also pursue roles in coach education, create methodological training materials, or mentor the next generation of coaches. For those interested in research, the program provides a strong foundation for sport science studies, including movement analysis, performance diagnostics and PhD-level work. The curriculum combines sport-specific knowledge with sports science areas such as biomechanics, analytics, high-performance training theory and long-term athlete development. Teaching is delivered by leading experts, national team coaches, top academies and internationally recognized researchers who bring elite-level experience directly into the classroom. If you want your coaching decisions to be grounded in data, science and international best practice, this program will take your coaching career to the next level.
