Leisure Studies
The Master’s program in Leisure Studies provide a critical understanding of the relationship between leisure behavior, leisure organizations and leisure policies, and how supply and demand interact in a national and international leisure market.
Graduates are prepared for positions in the leisure sector (sports, culture, tourism, spatial development) which require an academic level of intellectual ability. The Master’s program develops graduates for strategic positions in the national and international academic job market.
The Master’s program in Leisure Studies is organized in cooperation with the NHTV-Academy for Leisure in Breda. Some courses of the Master’s program will be taught at the NHTV Breda. The staff of both Tilburg University and NHTV Breda will be involved in the teaching of the courses.

"Are you interested in how people create their leisure lifestyles out of activities such as sports and recreation, fun shopping, visiting events, listening to music and volunteering, and how we organize our leisure, when nothing is necessary or obligated, and anything goes? Then you should consider embarking onto the Master Leisure Studies, and learn more about the activities we love to do, and the ways we organize them."
