Applied Sport Science 7.5 credits

About the course

The course aims to serve as a bridge between scientific knowledge and practice by addressing how research can be communicated and implemented in different contexts. The course covers theories and methods of scientific communication as well as strategies for implementing research based knowledge for both academic and practice oriented audiences. Through a combination of theoretical and practical components, students develop their ability to communicate and present scientific findings in a target group adapted and scientifically rigorous manner, as well as to analyse and evaluate strategies for translating research into practical application.

The course includes work with different formats of research communication, such as scientific posters, short pitch presentations, and communication directed towards practice based settings, as well as critical reflection on how research can be translated into practical practice.
