For instance, new activities have developed, while old ones have disappeared. Trainers must also learn to adapt to meet new situations.

Keywords: Sports physiology and training sciences, sport sociology, sport pedagogy and sport psychology.

Specialisation will be offered in the following sports:

  • Football
  • Volleyball
  • Cross country skiing
  • Telemark skiing
  • Other sports (on the condition that it is practically feasible at Bø campus, Telemark University College or if individual students reach special agreements with a sports association).

In volleyball and football, the university college has entered into partnership with sports studies at Bø Upper Secondary School and local sports clubs, so it will be possible for students to combine their efforts in sports while studying on the Trainer Programme.

The study programme corresponds to the second year of the Bachelor’s study programme, Sports Science.
