Course structure and content
The bachelor’s course teaches fundamental insights and skills in all sub-disciplines of Sport Science (the focus is not on students actually participating in sport; the corresponding abilities are a prerequisite). Teacher training is a special focus whose significance is underlined by a dedicated Chair for Didactics in P.E. Partnerships with schools enable students to scientifically analyse their future role not only in the seminar room, but also in live situations. This also gives them their first experiences to reflect on. Successful completion qualifies students for a teaching-related Master's degree in sport.

Humboldt-Universit?t is home to the only Department of Sports Sciences in the Berlin region. The department lies in the heart of Berlin, in a modernised historical building with very well-equipped laboratories and a newly built sports research hall. It is one of the largest departments in Germany and the lecturers have close networks outside the university.
The department provides ideal conditions for athletes from different sports to successfully manage their dual career of athletic training and education in Sport Science.
The department’s many international partnerships mean that students can study at a range of universities abroad, thanks to the Erasmus programme.
Practical sport-related affinity and sporting aptitude as well as fitness for sport are required.
