Learning outcomes
Professional Project - Studio 1 follows on from the Master's Introductory Course, at the end of which the student defended a project proposal at the student project conference. Based on the focus of the project, the student chooses one of the four professional studios of the Department of Recreology and works there under the guidance of a studio member of their own choice: - Studio Management, Economics and Tourism (MET) - economic and managerial aspects of projects, business plans, marketing, tourism, spa and wellness. - Studio Health and Lifestyle - health and physical activity promotion, exercise prescription, intervention and community programmes, fitness and wellness. - Studio Experiential Education and Outdoor Education - personal and social development, experiential and developmental programmes, methodological materials, outdoor education. - Studio Challenging Outdoor Sports and Activities (VOSA) - outdoor and adventure sports, working with challenge and risk, play and movement in the natural environment. In the studio the student deepens their professional knowledge in the field of their project and develops the project proposal into a project implementation concept: defining the project aims and content, target group, team, venue and equipment, timeline, budget and funding sources, marketing communication, risk analysis and evaluation design. The projects, and therefore the studios, are practice-oriented; the main purpose is to support graduates' employability through projects of a commercial or non-commercial nature. Projects are carried out mainly in the following areas: recreation and leisure activities; lifestyle, health and fitness; outdoor activities; tourism; community recreation; physical activity promotion for different age groups. The outcome of the course is a project implementation concept approved within the studio and a demonstration of professional knowledge in the studio's field. The project is implemented and evaluated in the follow-up course Professional Project - Studio 2; both outputs form a compulsory part of the student portfolio defended at the final state examination.
