About the Program

Movement and physical activity are important components of health. Against the background of demographic change and increasing lifestyle diseases such as back problems and cardiovascular diseases, RPTU trains sports scientists who know the special importance of prevention, rehabilitation and health behavior in theory and practice. They stand at the interface of sports and health, plan and implement teaching, learning and training processes, research in the field of sports and health sciences and implement preventive and curative measures in practice. The three-year bachelor's program teaches content from health and sports sciences. From the 3rd semester, you can choose focus modules in social, natural and economic sciences, and from the 5th semester, further focus areas in medicine or social sciences.
