Study Structure
In the basic modules, further knowledge is imparted with regard to empirical scientific work. Furthermore, the knowledge of pedagogical and psychological aspects, biomechanics, exercise science and training science relevant for sports and training therapy as well as health promotion is deepened from different subject areas and disciplines of sports and exercise science. The knowledge of health and quality management is also expanded. The focus of study to be chosen allows the program to be profiled in the areas of „sports and training therapy“ or „health management and health promotion“. In the study focus A „Sport and Training Therapy“ a training-related application on clinical case studies takes place on the basis of the medical knowledge as well as an action competence extended by the clinical practical course. In the sports medicine project to be completed, exercise and training science as well as therapy-related issues are developed and scientific methods learned are consolidated. In the module Movement Science A, biomechanical knowledge is deepened and analytical skills for recognizing gait pathologies are developed. Elective modules are available to the students to expand the field of study either in sociological or psychological-scientific direction.
In the study focus B „Health Management and Health Promotion“ a deepening of business management knowledge and a supervised application in the internship takes place. In the module Movement Science B biomechanical knowledge is deepened and possibilities are shown to describe the performance of the body by means of physical dimensions and to use biomechanical methods in a targeted manner. In the social science project to be completed, sports and social science issues are developed and scientific methods learned are consolidated. The examination of economic issues of health and fitness sports and future innovations and trends takes place in the module Social Science Perspectives on Sport, Exercise and Health Promotion. The individual foundation and concentration modules include predominantly research-based content. However, the courses prepare students for both scientific and non-scientific professional fields. The program concludes with the Master's thesis module. The content of all modules is structured in such a way that students can acquire additional qualifications and licenses related to their profession.
