The programme offers a multi- and interdisciplinary approach to Olympic Studies. Its teaching contents about the diverse aspects of the Olympic Movement such as commercialisation, marketing, professionalisation, politicisation, internationalisation, athletes’ representation, administration and peace-building efforts are substantially linked with the Olympic Values as well as sport ethical and educational considerations.

The M.A. Olympic Studies is a fully accredited Master´s degree, which is structured as a 2-year part-time programme. This allows participants to continue their occupational obligations while being involved in the programme. The knowledge provided in the M.A. Olympic Studies can be directly transferred to the respective daily working practices of participants from National Olympic Committees, for example educational, organisational, administrative and communication projects. This is a clear benefit of the M.A. Olympic Studies.
