Sport and Exercise Sciences for Health and Performance

The Faculty of Sport Science at Ruhr‑Universität Bochum offers a two‑year Master of Science in Sport and Exercise Sciences for Health and Performance. The programme combines theoretical coursework with practical laboratory training in physiological testing and biomechanical analysis. Students design training programmes for athletes and the general population, conduct original research, and write a thesis that contributes to the field. The curriculum is taught entirely in English and includes international guest lecturers, preparing graduates for managerial and research positions worldwide.
