DOCTORAL
PROGRAM
- Sport Culture
specialization - Courses within the specialization examine the role of sport in society and culture, in the past, present, and future, from the perspectives of the human and social sciences. Our graduates go on to careers in research and education, as well as in sports-related and other industries.
- Sport and the Media
- Culture of Sport
- Sport and Social Theory
- Sports History
- Sport Business
specialization - This specialization covers a wide range of sport business perspectives including both for-profit sports in private (e.g. professional sports and fitness clubs) and non-profit sports in the public sector (e.g. governments and schools). Students who graduate from these courses are expected to play active roles in sport business leaders, sports researchers, as well as general managers who significantly influence sport organizations.
- Sport Business Management
- Sport Organization
- Business Administration of
Sport Organizations - Sport Business Marketing
- Sports Medicine
specialization - Research topics in the Sports Medicine specialization are diverse and include perspectives from across the basic and applied sciences. Subjects include sports injury, preventive medicine, Paralympic/adapted sports, healthy aging, athletic training and others. Students will develop advanced and comprehensive knowledge in their selected subjects and develop capabilities to execute high-quality research. Upon graduation, students are expected to apply their expertise in Sports Medicine and Science as researchers, administrative officials, policy planners, or in corporate capacity as public health experts.

- Preventive Medicine
- Functional Anatomy for
Orthopaedic Sports Medicine - Sports Epidemiology
- Exercise Metabolism
- Health Education
- Kinesiology
specialization - In this field, we examine human performance from biomedical perspectives, aiming at enhancement of active life and improvement of sports performance. A variety of high-spec technologies such as artificial climate control chamber, EEG, EMG, multi-camera motion capture, MRI, TMS, etc., are available to our students, providing opportunities to take precise measurements of human body/motions and to integrate their textbook-knowledge with experimental data on human behavior/function, in order to design and conduct their own research/dissertation. With completion of the program, students will be prepared to apply their profound knowledge and research expertise to pursue their careers in research, teaching and sports-related and other professions.
- Biodynamics
- Sport Psychology
- Biomechanics
- Sport Physiology &
Neuropsychology
- Coaching
specialization - In this specialization, we examine coaching in modern society from the perspectives of sports science, education, and praxis (the integration of theory and practice). Through practical research and education, we aim to produce athlete-scholars with comprehensive knowledge, pedagogical skills, and research abilities to support sport and player development in the 21st century.
