1. BACHELOR'S PROGRAMME IN SPORT STUDIES

1.1 DEGREE PROGRAMME OUTLINE

Sports professionals are active in a variety of positions and within many different organisations in the world

of sports. While the 'power of sport' affords ample opportunities for sports professionals, they will need to

adapt constantly to a transitioning sports environment in which major changes take place every day. To

better understand what a sports professional does, it is recommended to look carefully at which

developments in society drive these changes and what this means for sports.

Philosophy on sports as a profession

Sports professionals act as knowledge workers who use their

strong identity as sportsmen and -women to meet the challenges

faced by the world of sports.

This chapter describes the characteristics that distinguish sports

professionals and illustrates the type of roles that sports

professionals can take on.

Sport Studies Pogramme Flower

In addition to the four-year Dutch-language bachelor's

programme, a three-year bachelor's programme in Sport Studies

taught in English has been offered since the 2015–2016 academic

year (accessible to international and pre-university (VWO)

students). The degree awarded at the end of the three-year

programme is equal to the four year Dutch-language bachelor’s

programme. Students are awarded a bachelor’s diploma is Sport

Studies. Figure 1 shows the Sport Studies Flower, a symbol for the

Sport Studies programme in Groningen. The orange pistil of the

flower signifies the sports professional's identity. The grey leaves

signify the national Sport Studies competences. The black leaves

signify the Hanze UAS focus areas. The four Hanze UAS focus

areas are explained further in the professional profile for the Sport

Studies degree programme. The personal and social development

aspects are discussed below.

Identity of the sports professional

A professional is able to apply specialist knowledge, experience, skills and attitude in their professional

context. They do this in a competent and ethical manner. In so doing, the professional's aim is to bring

about continuous improvements in their field (professionalisation) and contribute to the further

development of the profession alongside fellow professionals (Ruijters & Simons, 2015).

Hanze UAS sports professionals are trained to become T-shaped professionals: professionals with a broad

foundation in various sports domains and relevant knowledge areas. At the same time they are specialised

in a particular domain in order to add value directly to the field of Sport.

Sports professionals help meet complex challenges faced by society (which is itself becoming increasingly

complex). In this case, the power of sport can be an enabler and source of inspiration to many. On the one

hand, there is a great demand for broadly trained general professionals, who are able to straddle various

domains and fields of knowledge. On the other, society requires experts who are sufficiently skilled to carry

out high-level tasks. These two aspects come together in the identity of the sports professional.

Figure 1 Sport Studies Flower


It goes without saying that the sports professional's identity is firmly rooted in sport. Sports professionals

have sports expertise, understand the world of sports and are able to stand out. They demonstrate their

own professional added value in the sports community.

The intention of the English-language Sport Studies degree programme is to train students for the

international professional field. As regards the Dutch-language bachelor's programme in Sport Studies

(Sportkunde) focus is on both the national and international professional field. More information about

the last programme can be found in the “Teaching and Examination Regulations” of that programme.

Expertise Sports professionals are expected to develop their expertise on the basis of the identity described above.

Sports professionals are capable of switching between a variety of tasks and roles: supervising activities on

the pitch one moment. While organising and managing projects/organisations or developing strategies and

policies the next. They alternate easily between tracksuits, smart casual and smart business attire. Sports

professionals are experts who are capable of taking up a range of posts within the world of sports, but

who have also learned to specialise when required.

Their competences are a combination of knowledge, skills and attitude, allowing them to demonstrate

their mastery of a task related to sport and physical exercise. The competences have been formulated with

the higher professional education (HBO) standard in mind. The national professional profile lists the

following competences, which are also reflected in the Sport Studies Programme Flower (Figure 1):

Researching and developing: Sports professionals research and design sport and exercise options.

Coordinating, positioning and supervising: Sports professionals coordinate, position and supervise

projects and programmes promoting sports and exercise.

Leading, managing and organising: Sports professionals manage and oversee the work processes of

a sports and exercise organisation, demonstrating enterprise when doing so.

Evaluating and advising: Sports professionals develop, assess and advise on strategy and policy

concerning sports and exercise. Sports professionals manage the policy cycle with a view to

safeguarding and developing the continuity and quality of the sports and exercise options as well

as the organisation itself.

Personal and social development

Hanze UAS regards it as its particular mission to ensure that every member of the learning community is

aware of their social responsibility. 'Because teaching is more than just knowledge transfer, we also encourage personal

and social development', according to Hanze UAS, a philosophy we support fully.

We encourage staff and students to develop their potential and make a valuable contribution to society.

Development, innovation, being inspirational and simultaneously 'delivering'. This means being responsive

to and responsible for both ourselves and the people around us. Personal and social development is part

of the development of employees and the subject of team-building.

These two aspects come together in the identity of the sports professional. In addition to technical

professionalism, normative professionalism is also an important consideration when it comes to teaching

students. Hanze UAS regards normative professionalism as the result of lifelong learning on the basis of

self-reflection. After all, there is a moral as well as a technical and communicative aspect to professional

conduct. Professional conduct always involves standards and values. Aside from doing things right, you also

need to do the right things. This means that professionals should always take an evidence-informed

approach to the consequences of their actions. We encourage students and staff to care of the world and

Hanze UAS's School of Sport Studies, and the bachelor's programme in Sport Studies in particular, are

convinced that sport and physical exercise have the power to stimulate individuals and communities to

become more active, to forge connections, and to encourage people to take an active part in society and lead

active and healthy lifestyles that contribute to well-being and a good quality of life.


people around them, both nearby and further afield. We allow students to experience how they can use

their personality and professional skills to make a difference. We promote the practise of students basing

their self-esteem, in part, on the significance they can derive from relationships with the lives of others.

This happens while exercising their profession, as well as on what their profession can mean to those lives.

Last but not least, we encourage students to take up a position in the social debate. To this end, it is

important that students are afforded the opportunity to venture outside of their comfort zone and social

and cultural group, at a regional, national and international level.

1.2 EXAMINATION BOARD AND TESTING COMMITTEE

The Examination Board is responsible for assuring the quality of the programme by supervising the content, method and level of the examinations. The Examination Board is charged with determining whether students have achieved the intended learning outcomes (exit level) described in the Teaching and Examination Regulations. The members of the Examination Board are appointed by the dean. The Testing Committee is responsible for monitoring the quality of examinations and tests, operating under the supervision of the Examination Board. There is a single, joint examination board for all the programmes run by the School of Sport Studies, of which there are a total of four:

- The bachelor's programme in Teacher Education in Physical Education (ALO)

- The Dutch-language bachelor's programme in Sport Studies

- The English-language bachelor's programme in Sport Studies

- The Associate degree programme in Sports, Health and Management (Ad-SHM)

The examination board is staffed by a chair, a secretary and six members. The current list of members can be found at hanze.nl. The examination board has a plenary meeting once per fortnight (holiday periods excepted). Meetings alternate between the full committee and a reduced committee, made up of the chair and two other members who are on a rota.

2. INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES

2.1 IDENTITY OF THE SPORTS PROFESSIONAL

The identity of the sports professional provides a framework of values and principles. Those form the

integral basis for the four nationally defined degree programme competences, which have been embedded

in the Hanze UAS focus areas. Together, they constitute the Groningen profile of the sports professional.

On the basis of the national professional profile, the Sport Studies degree programme has elaborated these

competences into learning outcomes at the degree programme and semester level.

The identity of the sports professional focuses on being good at your job and doing it with conviction.

Your professional identity forms the essence of what it means for you to be a sports professional: What is

typical of you? The identity of the sports professional is apparent in the qualities you recognise in yourself

and the ones that others recognise in you. These qualities and characteristics are recognisably your own

and nobody else's. In this sense, the identity of the sports professional goes beyond mere technical

professionalism (i.e. knowledge, skills and profiles) and dovetails with the aspect of personal and social

development. Aside from mastering knowledge and skills, you will need to be articulate the human,

subjective and moral aspects of professional conduct.

Within the Sport Studies programme, the identity of the sports professional is considered the motor of

professional development. Based on a reflective and entrepreneurial attitude, students learn to understand

their principles, explain them and convert them into action. In This way the students gain an understanding

of themselves as a person and as a sports professionals. This involves reflection, self-knowledge, the ability

to manage conflict, ethics and critical thinking.

2.2 PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCES

Competence-based education

The Sport Studies Groningen programme adopts a competence-based approach to work and study. Central

to this educational concept are strong links with the professional field and a primary focus on the

professional development of students and the growth of their competences. Competence-based education

is characterised by the development of knowledge, skills and attitudes in situations derived from

professional practice. Competences are preferably developed entirely while working on a professional

performance in practice.

Our teaching philosophy is based on a continuous process of competence acquisition (ongoing development), interspersed with regular feedback and assessment. Throughout the degree programme, students work on professional performances and products of increasing complexity. In so doing, they gradually become more responsible themselves for selecting the professional performances that lead to competence development. Competences of the sports professional Based on the national competences, the Sport Studies degree programme has developed the following learning outcomes at the degree programme level. The learning outcomes have been broken down into learning outcomes per semester (or per block in the first year) at the unit of study level. The table below (Table 1) contains an overview of the competences and learning outcomes. The learning outcomes are related to several phases of the degree programme and to individual units of study. This is shown in the learning outcomes matrix (see Appendix 2).


Table 1: Competences and learning outcomes for Sport Studies Groningen Programme Competences: Learning outcomes:

Researching

and

developing

Students analyse and diagnose complex practical issues relevant to a specific sports-related

professional context by applying information from various scientific and practical sources

(LO1).

professional context in the field of sports by conducting applied research, taking account

of the latest trends and opportunities (LO2).

Coordinating,

positioning

and

supervising

Students coordinate sports and exercise programmes and projects in consultation with

relevant stakeholders and collaborate with other disciplines (LO3).

Students supervise, coach and motivate individuals, groups and target groups on the basis

of evidence-informed interventions, helping them to execute sports and exercise concepts

(LO4).

Students show initiative in implementing and positioning sports and exercise concepts

within the 'citizens, commerce and civil society' triangle (LO5).

Leading,

stimulating autonomy, mental well-being and development (LO6).

Students manage and organise operations and working processes within sports and exercise

organisations with the aim of achieving sustainable objectives (LO7).

Students plays a leading role in developing communities and networks that impact the

interfaces between sports' economic value, health value and social value (LO8).

Evaluating

and advising

Students conduct evaluations and provide advice based on current developments and state-

of-the-art knowledge of the strategies and policies adopted by sports and exercise

organisations and programmes (LO9).

Students apply the policy cycle in order to implement sports and exercise programmes

and ensure their quality and continual development (LO10).

Identity of

the sports

professional

Students develop the professional attitude and expertise expected of a sports professional

by reflecting on and closely following developments in the field, while acting as knowledge

workers (LO11).

Students explore their own identity as a sports professional and develop self-management

skills, intercultural skills, resilience, motivation, inquisitiveness and standards in relation

to their envisaged identity as a sports professional (LO12).


The organisation of the curriculum took into account the complexity of the demands of the professional field, the context, student conduct. At the same time the levels of independence, responsibility and knowledge transfer are taken into account. As of the 2019–2020 academic year, the curriculum is based on degree programme learning outcomes for each year of study. These degree programme learning outcomes increase in terms of complexity, responsibility and the transfer of knowledge and skills, as outlined in Table 2.

Dublin descriptors

Agreements have been made in Europe on the general level of the bachelor’s programme. These agreements have been laid down in the so-called Dublin descriptors. The national profile of the Sport Studies professional must relate to the Dublin descriptors. The table below (Table 3) gives an overview of the Dublin descriptors and how they relate to the HBO standard and the national professional profile. A total of five descriptors have been identified:

1. knowledge and understanding; 2. applying knowledge and understanding; 3. making judgements; 4. communication; 5. learning proficiencies.

2.3 SPORT STUDIES GRONINGEN PROGRAMME

At the Sport Studies degree programme, we believe in the intrinsic and extrinsic value of sport and physical

exercise. We train our students to make use of these values. Within the Sport Studies programme, we

distinguish between three key values of sport, in line with the national professional profile for Sport

Studies:

The social value of sport

(for a better world)

The health value of sport

(for a vital society)

The economic value of sport

(unlimited business opportunities)

Within the Sport Studies degree programme at Hanze UAS's School of Sport Studies, these three values are

emphasised equally (see Figure 2) in an international context. Herein this program differs from the Dutch

Sport Studies (Sportkunde) program, which focusses on the national- and to a lesser extent international

context.

These various values are often reflected in reality, professional practice, and in the programme. Often, the

values go hand-in-hand with social and other innovations. At the same time, we note that different sports

objectives often place more emphasis on one value than on another.

The graduation profiles In the final stage of their degree programme, students can select one of a range of graduation profiles, which are tailored towards the various roles performed by sports professionals in professional practice. There are four graduation profiles:

Training & Coaching

Active and Healthy Lifestyle Sport, Business & Innovation Sport and Society

2.4 SPORTS PROFESSIONAL CAREER PROSPECTS AND ROLES

Developments in society, higher education and the world of sports (see the professional profile for Sport

Studies) have led to a significant expansion of the professional field of sports professionals. There is now a

demand on the labour market for well-educated managers, policy advisers, consultants, mediators,

marketeers, project leaders and executives with knowledge of sports and movement principles, both in the

for-profit, non-profit and not-for-profit sectors.

The breadth of the sports professional's skill set is demonstrated by the ability to switch between

management and implementation at the strategic, tactical and operational levels. This will happen from a

variety of perspectives: performance, participation and vitality. To give an idea of the career prospects of

sports professionals and their potential roles, here are some examples: Elite sports coordinator, programme

manager, team manager, event manager, sports marketer, movement consultant, healthy ageing/lifestyle

coach, neighbourhood sports coach, combined position, club manager, association support officer, charity

support officer and social entrepreneur.

Figure 2: The three values of the Sport Studies programme


3. DEGREE PROGRAMME STRUCTURE

3.1. STRUCTURE TYPE: WORK-STUDY, FULL-TIME, PART-TIME

The Sport Studies (NL) bachelor's programme in Groningen is a full-time programme. The academic year consists of two semesters, each of which is divided into two teaching periods (blocks). In each block, an average of 15 credits (one credit is an international unit equal to 28 hours of study) can be obtained. The Sport Studies programme is a three-year programme. The entire programme is worth 180 credits. 3.2 JUSTIFICATION FOR LANGUAGE USED IN ALL OR PARTS OF THE PROGRAMME The programme is taught in English. To qualify for this programme, students must meet the English language criteria as set out in Article 2.1.8 of the Student Charter. Students must meet these criteria at the commencement of their studies.

3.3 MAJORS, GRADUATION PROGRAMME, ELECTIVES AND HONOURS PROGRAMMES

Full-time programmes Each programme of study offers one or more majors. If a programme has only one major, this major has the same name as the programme. This is the case for Sports studies. Learning outcomes have been written for each major. Each major has a final-stage programme in which the intended learning outcomes are assessed at exit level. The final-stage programme of each major is laid down in the Teaching and Examination Regulations (TER). Programmes may deliver common parts of a final-stage programme jointly as long as it can be demonstrated that each programme and each major is sufficiently distinct. Minors In the Sport Study program minors are not included. Entry requirements Sport Studies programme (EN) Pre-university (VWO) school-leavers or international students with comparable qualifications are eligible to enrol in the English-language bachelor's programme. Their English skills must be sufficient from the outset. Also see chapter 5 of these regulations. International work placement/international tracks The School of Sport Studies maintains a focus on internationalisation within the curriculum, both in the Netherlands and abroad. Students may be eligible to complete part of their programme abroad. The options and conditions for doing so are given below. The following requirements apply to all options: - Application and approval must take place through OnStage. - All exams must be administered by the School of Sport Studies. Any questions on the options and procedures outlined below can be directed to the school of Sport Studies internationalisation coordinator (Gerco van Dalfsen; [email protected]).



Semester 3,4,5 and 6 abroad Students may go abroad to complete subjects or a work placement during semester 3,4,5 or 6, in their second and third year. The following conditions apply: - Students wishing to complete an Erasmus programme at a partner institution abroad must apply

through the 'Study abroad' tab in Osiris. - The desired programme schedule must not result in a study delay in the third year. - Students must draw up a programme plan and submit it to the internationalisation coordinator by

1 September 2021. For students completing coursework, the plans must be approved by the internationalisation coordinator and the examination board. European Vital Cities (second-year Sport Studies programme abroad In semester 3, students can go abroad to visit the vital city that they are advising, at their own cost. In this program the students will get in contact with the Dutch Sport Studies students. The following conditions apply: - Students must draw up a programme plan and submit it to the semester 3 coordinator by 1 September

2020. - The plan must be approved by the semester 3 coordinator. Graduation The conditions for commencing the graduation programme (as of 15 July 2021) are: - First-year certificate obtained - 40 credits obtained from the 2nd year, including all assignments of the internship in the 2nd semester,

and the integral assignment Vital City. Graduating abroad Students can graduate abroad (in semesters 5 and 6). The conditions are that the meet the entry requirements for the graduation phase and their graduation plan has been approved by the thesis/final project examiners. Graduation plans must reasonably demonstrate that the programme will not result in any study delays. Honours abroad The Honours programme allows participating students to complete a programme component abroad. The following condition applies: - The proposed programme must be approved by the Honours programme coach and the

internationalisation coordinator. Honours programme Participation in Honours programmes is subject to a selection procedure. More information on these programmes, the entry requirements and the selection procedure can be found in chapter 4 (paragraph 4.3). Electives The programmes offered by Hanze UAS offers no electives.


3.4 STUDY PATHS

Sport Studies programme (EN) Students study within an international environment, where they learn to develop the Sport Studies competences (identical to those offered in the Dutch-language programme). Upon completion, students receive a bachelor's degree in Sport Studies.

3.5 COMPULSORY ATTENDANCE

Mandatory participation applies to specific components of the Sport Studies programme curriculum. All tutorials, practicals, guest lectures/tutorials and the international games are compulsory. In several cases, active participation constitutes part of the assessment. In sports programmes, much learning takes place from and with other students in interactive situations (including sports, tutorials, practicals, etc.) For this to be effective, students need one another! Students are therefore expected not only to attend, but also to participate actively during all timetabled classes. The assumption is therefore made that students will attend all classes and activities – both lecturers and fellow students are counting on everybody's active participation in the various teaching methods! This applies not only to classes, but also to working on assignments, conducting interviews and practising for assessments, etc. The associated attitude is important both to the students' studies and to a career in sport. Participation is recorded by lecturers and collected by coaches, to ensure a complete overall picture of students' participation and performance. In cases of illness, students must report sick to their coach by email.

other programmes, as determined by the Executive Board. The honours programmes offered by the degree programme are set out in Section 4.3 of these Teaching Regulations. Honours minors, just like standard minors, are offered across the university of applied sciences and can be taken by students from different schools. The honours minor offered by the student’s own school is described in these Teaching Regulations. The School for Sportstudies does not offer a honours. Information about all the honours minors offered within Hanze UAS can be found in Osiris. Participation in honours programmes is subject to selection. More information on these programmes, the entry requirements and the selection procedure can be found in Chapter 4 (Section 4.3). The School offers the following Honours programme:

Sport Studies Honours Talent Programme Honours Talent Programme at the School for Sportstudies The Sport Studies Honours Talent Programme at the School of Sport Studies starts in the second semester of the first year and is distributed across the programme. The programme carries a workload of 23 ECTS in addition to the standard curriculum of the bachelor’s programme. It has personal projects, community and interdisciplinary strands. Students taking the personal projects strand engage in applied research, consultancy and innovation in the field of the sport professional. The community theme will involve organising activities for the school and broader society. In the interdisciplinary theme, students choose from the current social themes offered across Hanze UAS as interdisciplinary modules and -projects. Honours talent programmes are recorded on the diploma and the diploma supplement upon graduation. Criteria for admission to the programme: positive reference of the study coach and excellent study progress in the regular program. Selection procedure: After the positive reference is obtained, the students applies by sending an email to the honours coordinator with a motivational letter attached. The program is worth 23 additional credits, in addition to the standard curriculum of the bachelor's programme. It has a breadth study path and a depth study path. The profile below stipulates the qualities, characteristics and conduct that are typical of an excellent professional in the field of sports, and which distinguish this sports professional from someone who is simply good in the field. Good sports professionals are competent in their field. They have a broad range of expertise, exhibit demonstrable professional conduct, show commitment (socially and otherwise) and have an in-depth understanding of sports infrastructure. For an 'excellent sports professional', the domains and aspects below are supplementary to this basic profile and are essential for being considered 'excellent'.


Participation in Honours programmes is subject to selection. More information on these programmes, the entry requirements and the selection procedure can be found in chapter 4 (paragraph 4.3). Characteristics of Honours programmes at Hanze UAS The honours programmes offered by Hanze UAS have the following characteristics: 1. An honours programme is a distinctive programme that leads to a degree at honours level.

This is evidenced by the following features:

- The programme is based on the profile of the ‘excellent professional’.

- The programme and the assignments focus on complex issues.

- It has a holistic, interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary approach.

- The focus is on social context and possible ethical dilemmas.

- There is scope for self-study and initiative on the student's part.

- Students are encouraged to develop the ability to reflect critically and to formulate their own vision.

Thus, honours programmes encourage students' personal development, enabling them to achieve a level of distinction. Where possible, honours students, on the basis of research, devise sustainable and innovative solutions that are relevant to professional practice.

2. Honours students are selected on the basis of explicit criteria that are designed to select ambitious and exceptionally talented students.

3. The lecturers’ teaching methods are adapted to the particular characteristics of the honours programme, allowing students the space to develop in a direction of their own choosing and to use their own initiative.

4. Honours students and their lecturers form an ambitious and inspiring community. 5. An effective quality assurance system guarantees the quality of the programme. 6. An effective testing and assessment system guarantees the distinctive exit level. Table 12. Additional requirements Institute for Sports Studies for adding "excellent"

Honours Talent Programme: curriculum overviews Because of the many possible starting times and individual freedom to determine the speed and scope of study in each semester, the curriculum overview does not adhere strictly to years or semesters. Programme components do follow a sequence, however. Honours students are themselves responsible for managing and monitoring their progress in the programme, and are coached in doing so by their Honours coach. Elite sports The School of Sport Studies has a unique scheme to accommodate qualified elite athletes. The scheme includes two parts. Firstly, the study speed, timetabling, exams etc. can be modified to allow for intensive training and competitions. There are also scholarships available. The second component consists of support for sport participation. Since the School is located in the Willem-Alexander Sports Centre, there are modern facilities available, allowing for strength testing, movement analyses, playing formations for team sports and performance diagnoses to be performed in the Sports Field Lab. Because the School of Sport Studies provides the highest-level trainer/coach programme in the Netherlands (Topcoach5), the School has access to cutting-edge knowledge in the field of professional sport. This expertise can be put to use when supporting students practising sport at an elite level. You can find more information about this scheme on our website, www.hanze.nl/topsport. For additional

information, students can email elite sports coordinator Arjan Taaij, e-mail: [email protected] Elite sports students who are eligible for the scheme draw up a study contract in conjunction with their study adviser at the start of the academic year. Among other things, this contract includes agreements regarding attendance, assessment and participation in the 'sports practice' programme components. Study contracts must be approved by the examination board.

4.4 FINAL-STAGE PROGRAMME

The three-year Sport Studies degree programme concludes with the completion of two components and a final exam, for which credits are awarded as follows:

- Professional product (20 EC), code SKVH9PRP - Professional performance (25 EC), code SKVH9PER - Final exam (5 EC), code SKVH8FIN

In additional education, the following part takes place:

- Community of Learners (10 EC) code SKVH20CPL The graduation plan will only be valid for one year. If you do not graduate within the year, the thesis/final project supervisor will determine whether the plan is still feasible. If it is not, you will be asked to develop

https://www.facebook.com/groups/155767214482095/

http://www.hanze.nl/topsport



a new graduation plan and submit it to the examiners for approval in accordance with the rules in force at that time. The degree programme concludes with an interview. The final interview is an integrated assessment at the end of the degree programme, in which students demonstrate their ability to perform as a beginning sports professional. In the interview, students demonstrate comprehensive acquisition of the required level of sports professional competences (see chapter 2).

6 EXAMS

6.1 SEQUENCE OF EXAMS

There are no sequential exams in the Sport Studies programme curriculum. However, there are entry requirements for the second-year work placement and the graduation phase. Students may only complete the final interview once all other programme components from the bachelor's programme have been passed.

6.2 AMOUNT OF EXAMS

Exam weeks are scheduled in the annual schedule, which can be found at www.hanze.nl. Students can take a limited amount of opportunities for a test. There is a maximum of two opportunities per year. Exceptions on this are covered via the exam committee. The Institute for Sports Studies ties in with the Hanze broad exam weeks. In addition, there is a spread of exams, by interim exam moments in the courses. If this is the case, this is included in the assignment and plan of the course, which can be found in the accompanying BlackBoard courses.

6.3 ANTI-PLAGIARISM RULES

School of Sport Studies anti-plagiarism policy The School of Sport Studies has anti-plagiarism regulations, based on the Hanze UAS-wide anti-plagiarism policy. The anti-plagiarism policy is part of the assessment regulations. The School of Sport Studies actively tries to detect plagiarism, and takes appropriate measures whenever it is identified. These measures may be general in nature (such as improvements to student information, reformulating assignment wording so as to reduce the likelihood of plagiarism), however they may also be directed at the perpetrator. In general, plagiarism is seen as a type of fraud, and perpetrators will be penalised.

Definition of plagiarism Students who copy another's work verbatim (or almost verbatim), either wholly or in part, and pass it off as their own are deemed to have committed plagiarism. Plagiarism is defined as: 'the inclusion of others' texts (or parts thereof) without significant modifications or referencing, and presenting the "new" text thus obtained as one's own work.'1 Having work written by someone else and submitting it as one's own also counts as plagiarism. As a rule, the School permits no more than 5% of a text (excluding appendices) to consist of (more or less verbatim) citations, unless specified otherwise in the assignment. The following situations will, in any case, be considered plagiarism: - The student has copied parts of an assignment from other paper/digital sources, and submitted it as

their own work without referencing the copied material. This applies if the original text has been copied verbatim, or if it has been modified slightly without having been developed into an original text.

- Assignments that consist of sections from other works, copied more or less verbatim. These sources may have been listed in a bibliography, but the text itself does not clearly indicate that (larger) portions of it have essentially been copied verbatim.

- Another student's work has been copied and submitted as the student's own work, possibly with some modifications.

- A student has their work written by someone else, and submits it as their own work.

The SISP measures and agreements are listed below: Prevention - Students are taught what plagiarism is and how to correctly reference sources. - Students can use SafeAssign to scan their own written work for plagiarism before submitting it for

assessment. - Lecturers are advised to explicitly include one of the following formulations in the assessment criteria

for reports/end products: o 'Express data from the literature or other sources in your own words'. o 'Incorporate others' texts and develop the ideas to create your own end product'.

- Lecturers reflect on the uniqueness, level of challenge, social relevance and realistic deadlines for student assignments.

Detection - All written formal assessments must be submitted via SafeAssign or OnStage. Lecturers who suspect

plagiarism can use SafeAssign to check the percentage of citations. Theses/final projects are always checked for plagiarism by thesis/final project supervisors.

- The lecturer will use the SafeAssign report to decide whether the suspicion of plagiarism is justified, and will report any serious suspected cases of plagiarism to the examination board. The board will handle the matter further.

Agreed penalties The thesis/final project supervisor/examiner will report serious suspected plagiarism or fraud to the examination board, who will ascertain whether this is the case, and determine any action to be taken. Both sides of the case will be taken into consideration. The measures may be general in nature (such as improvements to student information, reformulating assignment wording so as to reduce the likelihood of plagiarism), however they may also be directed at the perpetrator. In general, plagiarism is seen as a type of fraud, and perpetrators will be penalised.

6.4 VALIDATIONS AND EXEMPTIONS

When applying for exemptions to courses at the School of Sport Studies, students must demonstrate that they possess the relevant competences for the programme component from which they wish to be exempted. In addition to a copy of their qualification/certificate of first-year completion from another programme, they must also supply extra information. The precise nature of this information will depend on the student's prior learning, and the programme component from which the student wishes to be exempt. The exemption request must be submitted via Osiris. The Examination Board ultimately makes the decision. An exemption for a curriculum component must be applied for before or at the start of a block. Students may not apply for exemptions to programme components taken as part of their specialisation. They can, however, apply for an exemption to the qualitative requirement (trainer's diploma). The training programme must be of at least a level-3 standard, and the association diploma must not be more than three years old at the time of submission. The same application procedure applies here as to other exemptions.

7 ENROLMENT DECISION

The Student Charter (Articles 4.14–4.16) sets out various provisions with regard to the enrolment decision. Several localised, programme-specific provisions apply to the binding enrolment decision.

7.1 CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE BINDING ENROLMENT DECISION FOR ENROLMENT

A negative binding enrolment decision for the Sport Studies programme shall also apply to the Dutch Sport Studies programme, Ad-SHM and vice versa.

7.2 QUALITATIVE REQUIREMENTS IN RESPECT OF THE ENROLMENT DECISION

Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 4.14.4 of the Student Charter, the enrolment decision may be accompanied by a rejection. This happens in the case the student's academic performance does not meet the qualitative requirements stated in the Teaching Regulations. These requirements stipulate that one or more exams or units of study of the first-year phase must have been passed no later than 1 July 2021. For the Sport Studies degree programme, these are the following units of study:

- SKVP9CCH: Professional development: Assessment A (portfolio assessment) (2 EC)

And four of the seven tests/professional products below: - SKVP7SS1 Sport Studies 1: Sport Sociology (3 EC) - SKVP9SS2 Sport Studies 2: Event Management (3 EC) - SKVP9SS3 Sport Studies 3: Financial Management in Sport (3 EC) - SKVP9SS4 Sport Studies 4: Sport & Ethics (3 EC) - SKVP9OAD Sport Studies: Organisational advice (5 ec) - SKVP9SPI Sport Studies: Sport & identity (2 ec) - SKVP9STF Sport Studies: Sport & technical framework (2 ec)

8. WORK PLACEMENTS, FIELD TRIPS AND GRADUATION Schemes and programmes The Sport Studies programme is a field partner in the sports sector, where the motto is 'work together, learn together'. The main focus is on offering further development opportunities to beginning sports professionals. Our students are expected to demonstrate commitment and responsibility, and contribute to the creation of professional products to the best of their ability. Learning within a real professional environment forms the basis of the students' learning process, which is why it occupies a fixed place in the various programme curricula.

The quality of work placement positions and living labs is assessed annually via questionnaires issued to both field supervisors and students. These survey results and experiences from these (often intensive) collaborations then inform work placement policy. By completing the questionnaire, students contribute to quality assurance for work placements. The programme makes a constant effort to maintain the high quality of work placement positions.

8.1 SPORT STUDIES WORK PLACEMENTS

First-year phase The first-year phase reserves a lot of time for learning in professional practice, and all blocks require students to be active in the field. Student timetables ensure enough free time for students to be active in the field. More detailed information is listed in the first-year Blackboard courses. Second year Students in the Sport Studies programme complete their work placement in the fourth semester. More information can be found in the specific second-year Internship course on Blackboard. Professional year The Sport Studies programme students complete their final project as part of a work placement, scheduled to take place in semester 6. The final project is the last component to be completed in the programme. Both during their final project and in their project report and defence, students in this phase are expected to demonstrate the skills required of an entry-level sports professional. More details are provided in the graduation course on Blackboard: Sport Studies graduation. Doing a work placement abroad The School of Sport Studies maintains a focus on internationalisation within the curriculum and sport, both in the Netherlands and abroad. This is expressed through international/other guest speakers and topics, minors taught in English and the inclusion of an 'International Event' in Years 2 and 3. It will also be possible to complete a study period and/or a work placement abroad. Approval for a final year project and/or a work placement abroad must be requested from the internationalisation coordinator. Students wishing to study abroad to complete programme components that are not part of work placements or final projects must apply to the examination board for a custom minor. The application must be supported by a recommendation from the internationalisation coordinator and the study adviser. Questions on visas, insurance, accommodation, finances and vaccinations abroad can be directed to the Hanze UAS International Service Desk, Zernikeplein 7, A0.04 Van OlstToren. Email address: [email protected]. More information is available on www.hanze.nl.

Insurance/Students' responsibilities Because Hanze UAS students are only covered under a secondary insurance policy for third-party liability and cannot claim any other insurance from Hanze UAS, students are urgently advised to take out health insurance, accident insurance, third-party liability insurance and (if necessary) adequate travel insurance for themselves.

8.2 FIELD TRIPS AND PROJECT WEEKS

Camps are a mandatory component of the curriculum. Note: there are costs associated with the Outdoor camp, water sports week and winter school. Students who are unable to attend due to circumstances beyond their control must notify their study adviser and the examination board as soon as possible, at which point suitable replacement activities will be planned. Table 15. Overview field trips Sport Studies programme Excursions Groups Outdoor camp Sport studies programme (NL & EN),Year 1 Winter school Sport Studies programme (EN), Year 2

Cologne, minor in Sport, Business & Innovation

Only students doing the SBE minor

8.3 FINAL-STAGE PROGRAMME (FINAL PROJECT)

The final phase of the programme focuses on graduation. In the three-year Sport Studies bachelor's programme, this phase takes two semesters and consists of the following components and EC:

- Professional product – SKVH9PRP (20 EC) - Professional performance – SKVH9PER (25 EC) - Community of Learners – SKVH20CPL (10 EC) - Final exam – SKVH8FIN (5 EC)

More details are provided in the graduation course on Blackboard: Sport Studies graduation. Assessment The thesis/final project supervisor and second assessor must complete the assessment forms for each component fully and completely independently of one another. The final mark will be calculated by averaging the scores of both assessors. If the assessments differ by more than one whole point (on a 10-point scale), the examination board must be informed. The board will then appoint a third assessor, who will determine the final mark (with due consideration of the assessments and feedback of the other assessors). If one assessor gives a satisfactory mark and the other an unsatisfactory mark, the examination board must be notified. The board will then appoint a third assessor, who will determine the final mark (with due consideration of the assessments and feedback of the other assessors). Timeline Students draw up a graduation plan in preparation for their final project. Students have two opportunities. If students still have a No Go for their graduation plan after two opportunities, they should contact the graduation coordinator. More details are provided in the graduation course on Blackboard: Sport Studies graduation . Students who receive a failing mark on their graduation plan action plan must start on the final project again in either September or February, and submit a new graduation plan. The maximum allowable time

https://blackboard.hanze.nl/webapps/blackboard/execute/launcher?type=Course&id=_321474_1&url=


Page 38 of 51

to complete the final project is one year. If this period expires, students must start the process anew (according to the set requirements, and with a new supervisor). Early opportunity to graduate in September Students may apply to the examination board for an early opportunity to resit/resubmit any outstanding exams or programme components if they fail to meet the graduation requirements before the summer holidays despite their efforts. These are students who do not qualify under chapter 12 of the Teaching and Examination Regulations (inability to attend exams). These students are considered reasonably likely to be able to graduate in September regardless of their number of outstanding exams/credits. Eligible students will therefore not need to wait until the regular resits/resubmissions in the next academic year, but will be given the opportunity to complete the relevant components early, in September. Procedure:

1) Students must apply to the examination board for early retakes by 5 July 2021 (by sending an email to [email protected]) and make a convincing case for their ability to complete the requirements for graduation by 30 September.

2) The application must list the degree programme and all outstanding components along with their course codes.

3) The examination board will consult with the study adviser to decide whether the early retakes will be granted.

4) The examination board will inform the student which programme components may be completed early.

5) A programme coordinator will work with timetabling and the relevant lecturers to organise the retakes. All components must be completed by 15 September 2021, due to marking periods and the enrolment termination date.

6) Students must check whether all marks have been entered by the lecturer(s) on 30 September 2021 at the latest and terminate their enrolment in Studielink themselves if they have graduated.

Students must have been enrolled in the new academic year and be available to sit exams from 1 September 2021. Students wishing to do retakes in September must re-enrol as a student at Hanze UAS by 1 September 2021. Students must do so via Studielink and pay the tuition fees (or have formalised this payment via an authorisation) by the start of the academic year.

9 ACADEMIC COUNSELLING

In the Sport Studies programme, academic counselling is provided by coaches, and is referred to in practice as 'coaching'. Coaching is at the core of the curriculum and has a twofold purpose:

Helping students to learn independently

Providing information on the degree programme

Independent learning Coaching is primarily intended to support students in managing their own professional development. Independent learning means the ability to be pro-active: investing in oneself, setting one's own goals, learning from experience, being ambitious, goal-oriented, etc. To be clear: not all of the support for independent learning is to come from coaching. In addition to providing subject content, the purpose of all programme components is to support students in their independent learning (process support). In the coaching process, time will be spent on training (and coaching) students' reflective capacity. All reflection involves a certain systematic process (cycle) that is relevant, regardless of the subject matter. This reflection cycle is covered and practised, both individually (self-reflection) and in small groups (listening, asking questions, giving feedback). This developing reflective capacity can be applied to other parts of the degree programme. Independent learning does not mean students decide for themselves which classes and activities they take part in. All programme components have been planned by the programme administration (often in consultation with the professional field) to meet the demands of professional development and coaching. The coach and lecturers ensure that students demonstrate this attitude, and include it in student assessment (in some cases).

Providing information on the degree programme Secondly, coaching is intended to create an opportunity to provide information on the content and progress of the degree programme. Again, this is not only the responsibility of coaching: all lecturers contribute to informing students and evaluating students' opinions on the relevant programme component. Coaching does so more explicitly, and it can be achieved in various ways:

During orientation week, which focuses (in a general sense) on introducing students to the structure of the programme (elective options, first year, resits, binding enrolment decision, practical matters, etc.) and presenting the concept of competence-based learning.

Asking students' opinions on the programme: the pros and cons and suggestions for improvement.

Discussing quality assurance data.

Spending time on more personal or group-related problems with the programme (during consultation hours).

Coaches should therefore be able to gather lots of important information – after all, as the 'consumers', students are the most important source of information for evaluating and improving the degree programme. Coaches cannot be expected to solve all the problems – they can, however, be expected to provide any missing information, and to convey student feedback to the right place.


Page 40 of 51

Four roles of a lecturer-coach Coaches operate in four main areas:

As coaches, they discuss the student's progress in, and reflection on, the acquisition of competences.

As consultants, coaches provide advice on flexible pathways, specialisations and other elective options.

As contact persons, coaches provide solicited or unsolicited information or refer students to services, departments or documentation.

As contract partners, coaches provide formative-assessment feedback on competence development and input regarding personal profiles. They also conclude study contracts with students on behalf of the faculty.

Coaches, study advisers and student counsellors Coaches must be able to coordinate their work and delineate their area of operation, relative to other support staff. First of all, this concerns study advisers, who are more responsible for the administrative side of coaching (school regulations, etc.) Coaches must also know how far to go when dealing with a student's personal problems. Coaches are not therapists. The realm of the coach mostly concerns 'normal' student problems regarding personal goals, the student's circumstances and the requirements of the degree programme. For any recurring problems of a more fundamental nature, students should be given a referral (via the student counsellor). For general information, see Article 3.16.4 of the Student Charter.

10 CUM LAUDE PROVISION

1. The examination board awards a student the 'cum laude' distinction for their first-year or main phase exam if their overall achievement meets the following requirements:

a. No more than one-third of the total number of credits for the exam has been obtained in the form of exemptions.

b. All units of study have been completed within the nominal amount of time. c. The student has made no more than two attempts to pass any exam. d. Where a numerical scheme is applied, the average of all results is at least 8.0, no mark is

below a 7.0 and the student has completed their studies within the nominal amount of time.

2. The average referred to in the preceding paragraph under d. is calculated using a Weighted Grade Point Average system, where the weighting factor used in calculating the weighted average is the number of credits the unit of study is worth.

a. In addition to the provision in the preceding paragraph, the dean has also stipulated in the Teaching Regulations that the student must have obtained a mark of at least 8.0 if the main phase is completed with a final project (aptitude test).

3. A student against whom the examination board has taken a measure that deprived him or her of the right to sit one or more exams at Hanze UAS is not entitled to the 'cum laude' distinction.

4. In special cases, the examination board may grant exemption from the provisions of the first paragraph under b. and/or c.

11 STUDENTS' OWN CONTRIBUTION The issue of accessibility is one of the key notions underpinning our education policy. Enrolments in a degree programme may not be conditional on monetary contributions other than tuition fees (Section 7.50, first paragraph, of the Higher Education and Research Act). Enrolled students are entitled to make use of various facilities (Section 7.34 of the Higher Education and Research Act). These include participation in education and examinations, access to buildings and collections and the use of student facilities and tutoring. Students may not be charged any additional fees in exchange for such facilities. The below section offers an overview of all individual student costs in each year. Admission to the Sport Studies programmes is subject to additional entry requirements:

- Matching Day (cost: €20) - Medical Physical Sports Examination (MSPE) (cost: approx. €79) - Students admitted under the 21+ rule must also complete a Multicultural Capacity Test (high level,

MTC-H) (cost: €35).

12 GENERAL INFORMATION CONCERNING RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS

The Student Charter includes regulations on exams, resits, exemptions, assessment periods, viewing exam papers, documentation of study progress, the validity period of course credits and regulations concerning the binding enrolment decision. The Hanze UAS-wide examination regulations apply to all programmes at Hanze UAS. The examination protocol is also part of the Student Charter. This protocol sets out the regulations governing examination procedures. These include the obligation to draw up a study contract before being allowed to attend classes and sit exams, the procedures for exam administration, restrictions and rules, and fraud provisions. The School of Sport Studies examination regulations include provisions that further specify certain parts of the Student Charter.

12.1 SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES

The degree programme gives students two opportunities per year to sit each exam. If students are prevented from sitting an exam due to special circumstances, they must first take part in the normal resit (second opportunity).

After that, students may apply to the examination board for a second resit. The examination board will then determine whether or not the circumstances were beyond the student's control, and whether missing the exam will have serious consequences for the student. 'Special circumstances' are defined as circumstances that are unforeseeable and insurmountable. Minor illnesses such as a cold or influenza do not qualify as special circumstances.

Applications for a second resit must be submitted to the secretary of the examination board (along with the supporting documentation) within 15 days of the first resit results being issued. See paragraph 1.2 (Requests to the examination board).

Students must inform their coach as soon as they encounter special circumstances. When evaluating applications for a second resit, the examination board will consult the coach and request supporting documentation if it is not already available.

For injuries, illness or personal circumstances of a long-term nature, the examination board advises contacting the Student Counsellors' Office as soon as possible (SCO secretariat: +31 (0)50-595 4028). These circumstances may affect aspects such as the binding enrolment decision, student financing and graduation times.

12.2 STUDY DELAYS AND EXAM OPPORTUNITIES

Students with study delays from the 2019–2020 academic year have two opportunities to sit exams during 2020-2021. For the code conversion regulations, see chapter 4. Students have two opportunities to sit each exam in the 2019-2020 academic year and must apply for these via Osiris. Exceptions to these regulations can only be granted by the examination board. If students make improper use of resits, the results will not be recorded in Osiris.

12.3 EXAM PREREQUISITES


Page 45 of 51

Unless expressly stated otherwise, only students of the Sport Studies programme can sit the first-year and main-phase Sport Studies programme exams. Students must register for exams. Students who fail to register will not be permitted to sit the exam.

12.4 EXAM COMPLAINTS

Complaints about exams or other programme components must be submitted to the examination board within five working days of the exam date. Complaints regarding exam content or results must always be taken up with the lecturer first.

12.5 EXAM PUNCTUALITY

Particularly for practical exams and group assignments, it is important for students to arrive at least fifteen minutes in advance to avoid inconveniencing other students.

12.6 REGISTERING FOR EXAMS

Students must sign up for all exams in Osiris.

12.7 VALIDITY PERIOD OF ISSUED RESULTS AND EXEMPTIONS

The Student Charter stipulates that no limitations can be imposed on the validity of credits awarded or exemptions granted to students who are enrolled in a degree programme without interruption. This is unless their period of enrolment exceeds the normal length of study plus two years.

The School of Sport Studies reserves the right to allow credits or exemptions issued to students who have been enrolled for longer than the normal programme length plus two years to expire. This happens if curriculum changes to the major mean the programme no longer has a logical structure. For the Sport Studies bachelor's programme, this means a time limit of five years of study. The School of Sport Studies has designated study advisers to conclude study contracts with students enrolling in their fifth year of the bachelor's programmes. The purpose of this contract is to create an effective study plan, and to identify which programme components may become invalid at the end of the fifth respectively.

This study contract will remain in force until the student graduates. Students who take longer than four years will therefore need to draw up a contract at the start of their fifth year. This contract will be reviewed at the end of each year to determine whether any programme components may expire. If this is the case, the study adviser will inform the examination board, which will issue a decision on whether the results/exemptions issued shall expire. Of course, students are entitled to submit an official application for exemption to this rule, accompanied by arguments. This procedure is necessary in order to allow for humanitarian considerations. Personal circumstances may give cause to temporarily postpone imposing this rule. In such cases, the examination board will grant a certain period of respite (depending on the number of credits still to be obtained). Students who do not graduate must draw up a new contract at the start of the academic year. The check will be carried out again at the end of the year.


Page 46 of 51

If students have already started working with an employer who is known to the School, the Faculty will send a letter to the relevant organisation. Herein indicating that the student has not yet completed their degree programme, and is working under a study contract in order to do so. If the student works for a school, a note will be added indicating an actual or potential future breach of the Education Professions Act.

12.8 TRANSFERRING BETWEEN THE SPORT STUDIES PROGRAMME (EN) AND THE SPORTKUNDE (NL) PROGRAMME

Students wishing to complete a degree programme other than the one in which they are enrolled in Osiris must submit a transfer application to [email protected] by the date given below:

- Before the start of the new academic year. Students may transfer as of 1 September. If students comply with this deadline, may be able to transfer without incurring any additional study delay. On the other hand, transferring may not be possible at that time, but only as of 1 September in the next academic year. In exceptional cases, a study contract may be drawn up to determine the curriculum for the student in question. Students wishing to transfer at other times must e-mail [email protected]. This may result in an additional study delay.

12.9 MEDIC FIRST AID

Sports and movement are the sports professional's principal tools for making a positive influence on behavioural change, either behind a desk (e.g. preparing policy) or actively in the field of sports. It is essential that the Sport Studies programme students understand sport in all its facets, one of which involves guiding and instructing groups within the context of sports and exercise. To do this, it is important for students to learn basic first-aid skills, focusing on the identification and treatment of any changes (or deterioration) to people's health. After completing this course, students are able to bring a victim to safety, assess their condition, resuscitate them and use an AED. The course is assessed according to the standards drawn up by Medic First Aid Europe, for which students are awarded an external certification from this organisation. A package of course materials is used for this programme component, for which students must pay €36. These are additional expenses and are compulsory in order to take the programme component.
