Other types of education
The PhD programme follows the general guidelines for the PhD programme at the Faculty of Science at the University of Copenhagen.
The single-subject courses are integrated into our study programmes within sports science and nutrition. Many of these courses can be taken by anyone, on the condition that they meet certain basic requirements.
You can read much more about our single-subject courses here.
Online courses are offered via an e-learning platform, where the teachers participate in discussions with the course participants. The courses typically consist of a number of screencasts (slides with audio narration) or video lectures, often with associated reading material. For each topic covered by the course, there are a number of quizzes, and possibilities for discussion. Each course ends with an online multiple-choice exam.
