Sports, Exercise and Human Performance University of Münster

All courses are in English.

The Master of Science in Sports, Exercise and Human Performance represents a highly specialised Master's degree programme focussing on research. In particular, the programme is characterised by its alignment on scientific methods as well as its strong direction into internationally used standards and the imparting of field-typical "soft skills" without implicating any sport-specific practices.

The programme aims to enable students to work in research-based occupational areas and to make decisions in generating knowledge, diagnostics, planning and evaluating independently. The students should achieve profession-specific competences in leadership and communication skills, giving them the skills they need to be placed in leading and decisive staff positions.

The Master's degree programme is a graduate course of study in which students earn 120 ECTS credit points. It is designed for undergraduate students who achieved skills in natural and behavioural sciences, including medical aspects of sports and human movement. Elementary methodological knowledge and capabilities in experimental and field research are necessary.

The course is organised into four semesters. In the first two semesters, the three main parts, sport psychology, human movement science, training and performance sciences as well as statistics, methods and market skills are mandatory fields. They are all covered by theoretical courses and courses for practical application. From the third semester on, students are free to choose a topic of specialisation and explore this topic in depth. Research projects as well as international internships in different fields are highly connected with each other and can be chosen individually. Each cohort consists of no more than 20 students.

No tuition fees

Students must pay a semester contribution fee of approx. 330 EUR per semester. This includes a "semester ticket" covering public transportation in the greater Münster area as well as all of Germany.

There are several possibilities for employment, e.g., as students assistants.

As in all popular university cities in Germany, accommodation is in high demand and is not easy to find in Münster – but it’s not impossible either!

Please contact the International Office (Bachelor's and Master's students) or the CERes (doctoral candidates) of the university for advice. Please also note that the University of Münster (like most German public universities) does not have its own student halls of residence.
