Sports Sciences MA, Master Degree Project, 30 Credits

WELCOME TO MID SWEDEN UNIVERSITY

Hello!
A warm welcome to the course Sports Sciences MA, Master Degree Project, 30 Credits and as a student at Mid Sweden University.

We hope that you are looking forward to starting your Master Degree Project with us over the coming year. During this course, you will be guided through the process of designing and implementing a research study, considering research design and ethics, data collection and analysis, and culminating with writing and defending a written thesis.

The official start for the course is in week 36, 3rd September. However, some students may have already begun to plan a project before this date. Starting the project early can be accommodated - please take contact with me if you are planning to begin work on your project, or have agreed to work with a particular supervisor before the first campus meeting.

Schedule
Four weeks before the beginning of the course you will get access to your schedule www.miun.se/schemasok. Please note that the timetable may be updated until the beginning of the course and even after that if something unforeseen happens.

Before you can begin your studies, there are three things you need to do
1. Get a login for the student portal (Swedish: Studentportalen)

If you are an international student and admitted to a campus-based program, you will receive your User ID upon arrival at Mid Sweden University. All international students who are admitted to a distance education program, will receive their User ID by email approximately one week before course start.
This is your most important tool during your studies at Mid Sweden University. Here, you will find information about courses, study material etc. This is also where you register for each course. All of this can be found at www.miun.se/admitted.

Please note:
If you have studied at Mid Sweden University before, you will keep the same student login and user id.

2. Read through the current course syllabus

In the course syllabus, there is information about the course literature and other important things about the course for both teachers and students.

You can register no earlier than two working days before the beginning of the course. It is important that you register for each course.
