With the innovative educational concept of competence- based and student- centered working-methods the Degree Programme in Sports Coaching and Management prepares students along three main development streams with the focus on:
- Personal development and professional growth
- Coach development (with emphasize on holistic athlete development)
- event and organizational management
The Degree Programme is truly international. Every year several students come from different countries, e.g. Canada, USA, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Hungary, Estonia, Latvia, England, Germany, Austria, Italy, South-America 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.
Guest lecturers, project-work abroad in cooperation with the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) and on-campus exchange students add another level of internationalization to the studies. The students are encouraged to attend and organize international events, seminars and conferences, which create the possibility for networking with other coaches and sport managers and to establish connections to associations and clubs in numerous countries.
Our mission is:” We help people to grow” – Let’s meet in Vierumäki Campus!
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 International 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. In 2021 Haaga-Helia became the second higher education institution in the world to receive ICCE FULL Level endorsement in sports coaching (International Council for Coaching Excellence).
The modern and unique learning environment and pedagogical innovations are made possible through close cooperation with partners and networks from the working life. These working life partners can be, clubs, companies, sport associations and federations operating in the field of sport (e.g. coaching, marketing, development, coordination, and events).
The programme imparts knowledge on coaching sports on all levels, as well as on the organization and promotion of sport event management. A graduate from this degree programme is able to work e.g. in the fields of:
- Sports coaching (with emphasize on holistic athlete development and ice-hockey)
Managing and organizing sports events and activities
Instructing and coaching in sports associations and federations, as well as in clubs and gyms
