Sport science combines knowledge from physiology, psychology, biomechanics and social sciences to promote healthier lives. With non-communicable diseases causing up to 70% of deaths worldwide (WHO), and physical inactivity and poor fitness being major risk factors, this English-taught Master’s prepares you to use sport science methods to prevent disease and improve public health. The programme trains you to move research into practice so you can design, implement and evaluate interventions that truly impact health.
This four-semester, postgraduate degree gives a broad, research-led foundation in the first year and lets you specialise in your chosen sub-discipline in the second year. The curriculum takes a multidisciplinary and multi-method approach—covering areas such as training and movement science, sport psychology, social and health sciences, and methods including neuroscience, exercise physiology, neuromechanics, psychometrics and ambulatory (ecological momentary) assessment. Emphasis is placed on bridging basic and applied research (“from lab to life”) so that theoretical insights translate into effective real-world solutions.
You will work with internationally recognised researchers and benefit from state-of-the-art teaching and research facilities (labs for neuromechanics, physiology and psychology, plus ecological momentary assessment tools) and a global network of partners. The programme fosters collaborative learning and supervised research experience, enabling you to develop the skills needed to lead your own studies or to contribute to intervention development, public-health promotion, or research roles. The University also offers a related Bachelor’s programme in Sport Science for students seeking a direct undergraduate-to-graduate pathway.

Program structure and focus This one‑ to two‑year MSc combines applied sport science with public health perspectives to prepare graduates for roles in health promotion, clinical rehabilitation, research, and policy. The program blends core theory—exercise physiology, biomechanics, and public health epidemiology—with applied practice in assessing and designing exercise interventions for disease prevention and management. Students learn to translate scientific evidence into community and clinical programs that improve population health.
Key modules and learning experiences Students typically take advanced modules in exercise physiology, clinical exercise testing, biomechanics, health behavior change, epidemiology and biostatistics, and exercise prescription for chronic conditions (e.g., cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity). Research methods and a substantial empirical Master’s thesis or capstone project are central, with practical placements or lab rotations giving hands‑on experience in assessment technologies (e.g., VO2 max testing, motion analysis) and program implementation.
Learning outcomes On completion, graduates will be able to:
Typical entry requirements (indicative)
If you want a faithful rewrite of the exact curriculum you referenced, please upload the PDF or paste the curriculum text and I’ll produce a 2–4 paragraph rewrite with concise bullets for requirements tailored to the original document.
To be eligible you need an undergraduate degree (minimum three years) in sport science or in a closely related subject that clearly demonstrates links to sport science. The degree must be awarded by a recognized institution of higher education or a Berufsakademie — examples include a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science.
You must also provide proof of your English ability at level B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). Details on accepted test types, minimum scores, and any exemptions are listed under the program's "Language requirements" section.

Graduates are prepared for roles that apply sport science to health promotion, prevention and rehabilitation—such as research positions in academic or clinical settings, programme development in public‑health institutions, evaluation and design of exercise interventions for healthcare or community settings, and positions in the private fitness, wellness or sport industry. The programme also provides a solid foundation for further research (PhD) for those interested in an academic career.
