Descriptions

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
- personal development and professional growth
- coach development
- 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.

The Degree Programme is truly international. Every year several students come from different countries, e.g. Canada, USA, Japan, Slovenia, South Africa, England, Germany, Austria and many more. These international students bring different cultures, coaching cultures, traditions, behaviors, and working strategies to the programme, which leads to a real exchange in terms of knowledge and practices. Programme started at 2002 and during years it has had students from 29 different countries.

As a summary the Degree Programme in Sports Coaching and Management is emphasizing athlete-centered coaching approach as well as competence-based, process-based and student-centered education environment. The curriculum was renewed for the intake 2021.
