Please not that the main
teaching language of the Master programme in Sports Medical
Training/Clinical Exercise Physiology is German
The master programme imparts:
- in-depth sports scientific knowledge focused on sports medicine and training science
- the ability to work independently in accordance with basic scientific principles and to apply scientific methods and knowledge
- the ability to grasp new developments quickly, to
familiarise oneself with new areas and to contribute to the further
development of one’s own discipline in both research and practice
- well developed skills for occupational fields related to
sports, exercise, health and leisure, e.g. sport clubs, sports
associations, local or associational sports administration, media
sports desks, commercial sports suppliers, freelance trainers and
supervisors, sports and exercise therapy in prevention and
rehabilitation, and health insurance funds

teamwork, independent conflict resolution skills, foreign language
skills related to the subject, and the planning, preparing and
presentation of projects.
The theoretical teaching offer is supplemented by a range of
traditional and modern sporting activities and offers courses that
handle the development of teaching and learning processes. The
programme offers the possibility to focus on special sports medicine
and training science themes, and to collect and reflect on practical
experience systematically.
