GIH is a public institution reporting directly to the Government. GIH confers degrees in all three cycles in the area of Health and Sports. Under the Vice-Chancellor, GIH is organised with one academic department that consists of three units. Coordination of programmes across the tree units is provided by Faculty Programme Directors (FPD). All administrative staff is organized in the Administra...tion. A Programme Committee is responsible for the first and second cycle programmes and courses, and a Research and Post Graduate Studies Committee has similar responsibilities in these fields.
All units also are responsible for international cooperation and mobility issues within their competencies. The Student Union has taken on mentoring responsibilities. Internationalisation activities are coordinated through the International Office. It combines academic and administrative competences.
Partner institutions are chosen according to the priorities outlined in the internationalisation strategy. The Vice-Chancellor of GIH is responsible for signing the inter-institutional agreement. Faculty Programme Directors (FDPs) are responsible for the planning of the curricula and courses. A relevant FDP will, within his/her area of competence, process learning agreements for outgoing as well as incoming students.
FDPs will have to assure that courses given to incoming students are relevant for the agreed learning outcomes. For outgoing students the Learning Agreements will also include what courses are to be credited upon the successful completion of the studies abroad. In this, the FDP will have to obtain binding obligations from the teachers grading the respective courses.
GIH is the only independent specialist college in Sweden. It"s missions are to conduct training and research in sport, physical activity and health. Research at GIH explores issues in the field of sport sciences with different starting points, human biology as well as humanities and social sciences. The research at GIH often requires a multidisciplinary approach, in which various lines of research are mutually supportive. GIH benefits of the presence of multiple scientific disciplines since research is conducted both in the field of human biology as well as humanities and social sciences.
The research at GIH is organised in three different areas:

• Culture and learning
• Performance and training
• Physical activity and health

GIH aims to be a natural partner for collaboration to both Europe and foreign higher education institutions that carry out high quality research and education within the area of physical activity, sports and health. Through international contacts and collaboration, the frames of reference will be widened for students, teachers and researchers. The international perspectives will also contribute to the understanding of other cultures. To allow for broadened capability among researchers to communicate in languages other than Swedish, GIH also enables recruitment of teachers and students from foreign countries.
