Students are trained to identify ethical issues, engage in ethical thinking, and translate decisions into ethical actions – the three core skills required to develop sports integrity indispensable for addressing the ethical and integrity issues facing national and international sporting federations. The programme focuses on topics such as anti-doping, anti-discrimination, fair play, global sports governance, gambling, match-fixing and sport manipulation, safeguarding, Youth Olympics, Olympism and Paralympism.
During the first semester of the first year, students will be based at KU Leuven. The second semester will be completed at Charles University (Prague). In the second year, students complete the first semester at Johannes Gutenberg-Universität (Mainz) or Universitat Pompeu Fabra (Barcelona).
