Learning outcomes
Professional Project - Studio 2 follows on from the Master's Introductory Course and Professional Project - Studio 1, in which the student developed and defended a project implementation concept under the guidance of a chosen studio member. The student continues in the chosen professional studio of the Department of Recreology - Management, Economics and Tourism (MET); Health and Lifestyle; Experiential Education and Outdoor Education; Challenging Outdoor Sports and Activities (VOSA) - and, under the guidance of the same project supervisor, implements the project in practice. During implementation the student applies the professional knowledge acquired in their studies, manages the individual components of the project - funding, communication with partners and participants, marketing, organisation and time management - continuously monitors the progress of the project, solves emerging problems and documents the implementation for the purposes of evaluation and the student portfolio. After completion the student evaluates the project, prepares a final project report and defends the results at the student project conference. 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 an implemented project, an accepted final project report and its successful defence at the student project conference. The implemented project, the final report and their reflection form a compulsory part of the student portfolio defended at the final state examination.
