Master's program in Sports Science // Melkorka received many exciting job offers after graduation
Melkorka Rán Hafliðadóttir is a young athlete and coach who graduated with a master's degree in sports science from Reykjavík University in 2022. She currently works as the head strength coach of the KR soccer department and aims to study for a doctorate in sports science next fall. But why did Melkorka choose the master‘s program in sports science at RU?
After I finished my undergraduate studies in sports science at RU, I received an offer to join the master's program there and work on my final project in collaboration with the Sports Association of the Disabled. I thought it was an exciting project, so I decided to accept the offer,“
says Melkorka.
RU has excellent facilities that offer endless possibilities for research, which is a great advantage for master's students working on their final project. I also had a perfect relationship with teachers and all those who work at the sports science department and the school. The atmosphere is very positive, and asking for assistance is easy. Last but not least, RU has excellent relations with economic life and also offers projects related to the business world. For example, I did my final project in collaboration with the Sports Association of the Disabled and subsequently got a job there. I also got work as a strength coach at the men's football club KR through the university.
