Do you dream of a stay at a sports college where you combine sports with community and unique friendships? With us, you can focus on your interests in sports and physical education, in a large community of skilled teachers, trips out into the world and amazing people.
Life at NIH is about much more than teaching – it's about shared experiences, everyday laughter and lifelong memories. Here we live, train and develop together, and you become part of a strong community where there is room for both ambition and personal development.

COMMUNITY, SPORTS AND FREEDOM
At Nordjyllands Idrætshøjskole, you can focus on your interest or curiosity for sports over a longer period of time – with training, experiences and development. We believe that sports are a natural part of life and everyday life, and you have the opportunity to concentrate on and develop within your favorite sport – or try your hand at a lot of new sports.
But we also put sports into perspective, and together with the sports subjects you have a number of general subjects that strengthen your basic professional and human skills. At NIH you have the opportunity to develop yourself personally, clarify your dreams for the future and gain experiences for life.
International
We love to mix our students with different cultures. That's why we also have a bunch of international students at the sports college. They make up about 10-20% of the total student body. Our teaching is in Danish, but we of course translate into English when necessary. The international students come from all over the world.
IS NIH FOR YOU?
NIH is suitable for those who want a college experience with sports, community and lots of opportunities. You can join, whether you have been involved in sports all your life or if you just want to try new things and become part of an active community.
Here you don't choose one fixed line, but put together your own schedule across subjects. This gives you the opportunity to both pursue what you already love and try something completely new.
SCHEME
At NIH we don't have lines, and our subjects are for everyone, regardless of level. This means that your schedule consists of four different physical education subjects. When we structure the schedule in this way, it also means that the student body is mixed in a really good way.
FACILITIES
The Sports College was built in 1986, with the aim of being a sports college. That's why the interior design is also well thought out. For example, you don't have to go outside when you walk from your room to the halls. It's pure luxury!
WEEKDAYS AND WEEKENDS
With us, you will become part of the vibrant life at the sports college. You will experience world-class teaching, weekends full of partying and color, and create unique friendships for life.
Teaching is a big part of your stay at the college. But free time is at least as important. This is where you really get to know your new friends. From the college side, we also arrange evening activities. But most of the time it is you and everyone else who invents and invites you to entertainment. Whether it is futsal in the hall, a badminton tournament, the opening of the climbing center or watching a movie – it is entirely up to the students.
“ I went to Nordjyllands Idrætshøjskole to surf. The college's close location to the North Sea made NIH an obvious choice for this. In addition, I also found it appealing that I didn't necessarily have to sign up for a specific 'line', but could more or less tailor a schedule of subjects that I liked. ”

Musician Lucas Johannes stopped by for what we would call a pretty memorable Saturday night🤩 @lucasjohannnes❤️
HANDBALL T-SHIRT FRIDAY🥳 50 students. 50 handball shirts. One big community! 🤾♀️💙
We accepted the invitation from Julemærkehjemmet Hobro, and today 50 students at Nordjyllands Idrætshøjskole showed up in handball shirts.
Because sports are also about what happens between us: participating, cheering each other on and finding friends in the community. 🙌
Thanks for the initiative, @julemaerkehjemmet_hobro 🥳 We're participating in #HandballTshirtFriday 👕
We love sports! 💙 And today we were allowed to try our hand at the world of sports when you have a disability.
Parasport Denmark stopped by and challenged us in everything from wheelchair sports to goalball and volleyball. ♿️🏐
And what an eye-opener! Because suddenly movements and techniques that are usually based on the spine had to be approached completely differently. New ways of moving, playing together and getting the ball into the goal😃
A super fun day with lots of competition and a whole new perspective on sports. 💙
Thanks to @parasportdanmark for challenging us! 💪
Do you like snowboarding? Then imagine it without snow, with a wetsuit and a significantly higher risk of a wet landing 💦😂 Wakeboard training is part of our Extreme course. Do you know someone who should be here?😆 #wakeboarding #sports college
What if your everyday life was filled with more of what you love? 🔥
More sport. More experiences. And a whole lot of new people to share it with.
At Nordjylland Sports College you can pursue your passion, try completely new sides of yourself and put together your everyday life from 40+ different options.
