Sport Science

Humboldt-Universität is home to the only Department of Sport Sciences in the Berlin region. The department lies in the heart of the German capital in 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 Sports Sciences. The bachelor’s course teaches fundamental insights and skills in all sub-disciplines of Sports Sciences (the focus is not on students actually participating in sport; the corresponding abilities are a prerequisite). The department’s many international partnerships mean that students can study at a range of universities abroad, thanks to the Erasmus programme. In the in-depth modules, the course offers the opportunity to choose between differentiated and individual focal areas in the fields of culture, health and performance relating to Sport Science.
