Sport Science
B.Sc.
Overview
The Bachelor's program in Sports Science focuses on the study of sports in all its facets and perspectives.
It teaches the technical fundamentals and competencies in the areas of movement and training science, biomechanics, anatomy, physiology and biochemistry, sports medicine, sports psychology, sports pedagogy and didactics, sports communication, and sports management.
In addition, the Sports Science program offers the opportunity to prepare specifically for a later professional career through internships and electives.
Which further expertise and skills will I acquire?
As a graduate, you will have a holistic understanding of the human body in the context of physical activity and sport. In doing so, you can draw on a solid knowledge of movement, neuroscience, training science, sports medicine and biomechanical principles. You will have an overview of the external influences on the physical structures and the psyche of people and will be able to classify interrelationships between the various sub-disciplines of sports science and the effects of their synergetic interaction as well as the functionality of physical activity, sport and interacting contextual factors. You have acquired knowledge in the disciplines of sport psychology, sport pedagogy and didactics, sport sociology, media and communication in sport as well as sport management and entrepreneurship.
You are able to act diagnostically, preventively and interventively in areas of physical activity and sport. Your methodological and analytical competences allow you to generate scientific explanations and to evaluate them in an interdisciplinary way. Thus, you will be able to evaluate movement quality, analyze movement sequences and design interventions to optimize movement sequences as well as develop training plans based on movement, neuroscience, training science and sports medicine components and thereby teach techniques in selected sports. With regard to action competencies, you will be able to take into account sports psychological influences as well as models of motor learning and motor development in diagnostics, training and consulting and use these for any changes in a motivating and target group-appropriate manner. As a creative, socially competent and responsible person with leadership qualities, you work solution-oriented in teams. You are able to implement social and entrepreneurial commitment.
Which professional opportunities can I take up with this qualification?
Upon successfully completing the Bachelor's program in Sport Science, professional opportunities arise in various sectors. These include sports clubs and associations, health care, sport management and sport communication, as well as commercial companies active in the sports sector. The Bachelor’s degree qualifies students for further academic education and suitable Master’s degree programs.
Structure
The Bachelor's program in Sport Science comprises three phases of study. Fundamental knowledge is conveyed in the first three semesters. In the fourth semester, a 20-week internship provides an initial professional orientation and focus. A specialization phase ensues during the fifth and sixth semesters, which can be planned on an individual basis.
In the interests of internationalization, the language of several of the degree’s required modules is exclusively English. German students will therefore find it easier subsequently to embark upon an international career, while foreign students will find it easier to complete their studies abroad at our school.

Qualifications
Selection takes place through an aptitude assessment procedure. The aptitude assessment is a two-part procedure evaluating your ability to successfully manage the particular qualitative requirements of the Bachelor’s program.
In the first stage, your overall secondary school grades, your grades in subject-specific courses, and any relevant practical experience or additional qualifications will be evaluated using a point system. Depending on the amount of points accumulated, applicants are either immediately admitted or invited to an admissions interview.
