Haaga-Helia's mission is to open doors to working life. We aim for the qualitative employment of our students, and we want to keep all doors open to working life. Our story is filled with many people, plenty of courage and a pioneering outlook. These things are also part of our constant core. Education responds to topical needs – in fact, it very much anticipates the future needs of society.
The Degree Programme in Sports Coaching and Management prepares students with the knowledge and skills needed in today’s sports and leisure industry. Our Programme core values are Collaboration, Curiosity and Human-Centered.
Through competence-based approach, the programme prepares students along three main development streams with a focus on

- event and organizational management
The programme offers unique opportunities for the students to be actively involved in the sport of their choice on local, national and international level. Through close cooperation of the Degree Programme with the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF), the Ice Hockey Centre of Excellence (IIHCE) and the Finnish Ice Hockey Association (FIHA) the students are constantly involved in the development of ice-hockey on a world-wide scale.
