Contents of the subject Sports Science

Interdisciplinary perspectives
The degree programme integrates various scientific disciplines, including sports medicine, neurocognition, biomechanics, sport and society as well as sport and business. This interdisciplinary education promotes a comprehensive understanding of the diverse aspects of sport and prepares students for complex challenges in the professional field.

Practical orientation
A central element of the degree programme is the intensively supervised Teaching Experience Semester, which combines theoretical knowledge with practical experience. This practical learning enables students to test and reflect on their role as teaching staff in sport, which increases the quality of their education.

Specialised specialisation
The degree programme offers the opportunity to specialise in various areas of Sports Science, such as didactics and methodology in the fields of sport and exercise. This specialisation enables a targeted education that is tailored to individual interests and career goals.

Health promotion
The programme places particular emphasis on promoting health and combating physical inactivity. Students learn how they can contribute to the holistic development of children and young people through exercise, play and sport, which is of great importance in today's society.
There are particularly good job prospects in primary schools, secondary schools, comprehensive schools, and elementary schools, as well as in integrated special education. There is also a high demand for teachers in STEM subjects (with the exception of biology). Nevertheless, it is important to keep in mind that you will be teaching this material for a long time. You should therefore be interested in what you teach and study subjects that you are passionate about.Considering the age of the students in the respective school types is also helpful when making this decision.
