Second year: research design and statistics, neuromotor control and modelling, gender and diversity, sport psychology, neurocognition and performance, data acquisition and analysis, professional acting in health sports, research project
Third year: professional acting in health sports, scientific internship, supervision and coaching, final module (Bachelor's thesis and defence)
The contents are organised in lectures, seminars, tutorials, practical courses and internships.
Scientific internship
An internship in sport and exercise organisations requires 90 hours of attendance and has to be completed during one semester. A scientific internship has to be finished in one semester, preferably during semester five.
We do not charge tuition fees. However, students must pay a semester contribution fee of approx. 355 EUR per semester. This includes various services for students as well as a "semester ticket" covering public transportation in Münster and all of Germany.
You can find more information here.
We recommend that students budget at least 1,000 EUR per month to meet personal expenses (accommodation, living, health insurance).

General qualifications for university entrance (e.g. Abitur, "matric" or equivalent qualifications)
Due to the intensive nature of the programme, students will not have much time for part-time jobs.
As in all popular university cities in Germany, accommodation is in high demand and not easy to find in Münster – but it's not impossible either! Like most German universities, we do not have our own student halls of residence. However, the "Studierendenwerk", a governmental organisation, offers student halls in Münster. You can find additional information on housing options here and here (only in German).
When contacting about private offers, be careful! Please make sure that you never transfer money before you sign the rental contract. Ideally, you should be able to talk personally to the potential landlord, even if you are still abroad (via phone, video call, etc.) If you are not sure whether an offer is real or possibly a fraud, please feel free to contact the team of our International Office and send us the offer.
