Program Overview

Introduction to the Master's Programme in Sport Science

The master's programme in Sport Science equips students with the ability to apply their knowledge and competences in the scientific, technical, medical, humanistic, and social scientific sub-areas of sport science. This enables them to solve practical sports-related issues in an academically reflective manner. Students acquire academic and methodological competences in the area of basic and applied research and learn how to plan and manage workout processes, as well as organise measures aimed at health promotion and prevention through exercise and sports.
