Course Information

International Leisure Sciences

In the field of leisure, the various lines of approach offered by, for example, psychology, sociology and anthropology, only offer partial explanations of what people want – and are able to do – in their leisure time. As a result, you have to learn to let go of existing ideas, theories and working methods in order to generate important new alternatives – which can then be assessed and researched. This is how we push the boundaries and make crucial new contributions to existing knowledge in the industry.

The combination of actors and factors involved in leisure make this a complex field demanding solid academic investigation.

The programme runs over three years. Each year is organized into two semesters and/or four terms (for the first year)

In the first year, the multidisciplinary foundation for the programme is established and you are introduced to leisure sciences and research methods. During the first year, you work on a number of cases from various scientific perspectives. In the second year you deepen your knowledge on leisure activities and organisation of leisure (in depth). One of the courses in the 1st semester takes place at Tilburg University.

Also during year 3 (2nd semester) one course is given at Tilburg University. In the fifth semester, you choose a minor. In the sixth and last semester, you evaluate and critically apply what you have learned.The third year also includes a practical assignment and the completion of your Bachelor (graduation) thesis.
