Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.)

About the Program

Work with and for people is at the heart of sports science. Central topics are anchored in the areas of movement, games and sports, as well as school sports, amateur sport, high performance sports and sport for health purposes. Sports scientists integrate elements from different disciplines, or develop original, interdisciplinary approaches to these fields. They aim to consider practical and theoretical aspects of individual sports and disciplines, forms of sport or areas of sport (e.g. water sports, winter sports, small-scale games). Graduates of a degree programme in sports science have the motor skills required to plan and deliver sports and training sessions for specific sports, and across disciplines. All students also benefit from the focus on empirical research at the Institute of Sports and Sports Sciences, and gain a thorough insight into empirical research methods and statistics.
