Sportwissenschaft – Bewegung und Gesundheit (Sports Science – Exercise and Health)

Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) – 1 field degree program

Sport, movement, and physical activity are fundamental for a healthy life. The degree programme Sport Science – Physical Activity and Health examines how health can be promoted through exercise and physical activity, and how physical performance can be enhanced through training. The programme covers both, theoretical and practical content in sport science, complemented by knowledge from sports medicine, prevention, rehabilitation, and health promotion. A defining characteristic of the programme is the close integration of theory and practice, alongside opportunities for individual study pathways through three areas of specialisation. A mobility semester can be used, for example, for a study abroad experience or an internship. Graduates acquire competencies in the conception, implementation, and evaluation of training and health programmes. The degree thus particularly qualifies students for professional fields such as sports therapy, health promotion, and fitness or athletic training, and also provides a solid foundation for a consecutive Master’s degree programme.
