Master - Sports Engineering


The study programme Sports Engineering qualifies for the various activities of sports equipment development, -inspection and –maintenance in the field of high-performance-, mass-, prevention- and rehabilitation sports..
Standard period of study Final Degrees Start of Course Requirements
4 Semester Master of Sience (M.Sc.) Winter term
  • B.Sc. in Sports Engineering
  • Degree in technical-Engineering- scientific studies
  • Degree if sporttechnological B.Sc. studies

Admission is granted to most Students holding a BSc degree in Engineering disciplines. If Students gained knowledge in Human Sciences during their BSc they are directly admitted to the Master’s programme, otherwise they will be required to take additional courses after and individual consultation.

The enrolment for the consecutive Master’s degree programme Sports Engineering is possible for the winter term, starting in early october. Detailed information about Enrolment can be found here: Student service.

As part of the research orientated Master’s degree programme yet acquired scientific concepts and methods of the Bachelor’s programme Sports Engineering will be deepened. Besides the expansion of scientific work methods, knowledge about the scientific interface sports equipment technology and human locomotion is taught. The graduate will be qualified to work on research or development tasks autonomously and creatively. Furthermore the students are enabled to utilise their wide knowledge target-oriented and simultaneously acquire the flexibility which is explicitly demanded in the branch.
The individual modules involve mostly research based contents, whereby the involvement of students in current research works is intended. Within the basic modules knowledge of human locomotion research methods are deepened and applied practically in workshops. Exemplary theoretical knowledge about sports equipment and materials is fortified with practical experiences in the practical module. By choosing an in-depth module the student can either focus either on modelling or design of sports technologies. Furthermore the expansion of individual engineering skills takes place in the engineering focal points.
