The programme begins with the first module (PSE 1), a vital review course designed to ensure that every student has a solid foundation in these import- ant fields. As students advance through the subsequent modules, they will refine their general research skills (PSE2, PSE3) and explore the theoretical and practical aspects of a range of engaging topics (PSE4 – PSE9). The final two modules (PSE10, PSE11) allow students the opportunity to undertake individual research pro- jects centered around their personal interests, foste- ring innovation and depth in their academic pursuits. www.dshs-koeln.de/studydocuments_en employers search specifically for sport psychologists with a research background, as ensuring effective dia- gnostics and interventions (including quality manage- ment and evaluation) is an essential field. As such, the Psychology in Sport and Exercise master will lay the foundation for independent planning, implementation and evaluation of sport psychology-oriented diagno- stics and interventions. The M.Sc. Psychology in Sport and Exercise degree allows for consecutive postgradua- te studies earning a doctor‘s degree: www.dshs-koeln.de/english/studying-structure/ full-time-studies/phd-programme http://www.dshs-koeln.de/master-pse http://www.dshs-koeln.de/master-pse http://www.dshs-koeln.de/master-pse http://www.dshs-koeln.de/studydocuments_en http://www.dshs-koeln.de/english/studying-structure/
