How this atlas was made
Last checked: 11 November 2026.
What is included
Programmes whose main subject is sport, exercise or performance psychology: bachelor's, master's, postgraduate diplomas and specialisations, doctorates, diplomas and courses from universities or recognised psychology bodies. General degrees count only when they have a named sport psychology specialisation.
How it is checked
Every programme was checked on the institution's official page, which is linked as the source. Anything that page does not state (duration, language, format or city) is left blank, never guessed. Course portals and rankings are used as leads only.
Unverified leads
Programmes that were found but could not be confirmed on an official page: it did not load, was blocked or showed an old edition. They appear hatched on the map when the filter is on and are not counted in the figures.
