Teaching in the Bachelor's degree programmes is very practical and interdisciplinary. The extensive sports-relevant training combines research-based learning with teaching in the theoretical fields of Sport Education/Didactics, Sport Sociology, Sport History, Sport Psychology, Sport Medicine, eHealth and Sports Analytics, Training Science and Movement Science, which ensures the best possible transfer of knowledge to target fields such as School Sport, Competitive, Leisure and Health Sport. The faculty maintains close communication between students and lecturers.

The MSc course in Management and Consulting in Sport includes modules from the departments of Management and Economics, Psychology and Consulting, Social Research and Economics. Students in the MSc degree programme Sport and Exercise Sciences for Health and Performance learn practical skills, e.g. with regard to physiological performance tests or biomechanical analyses, and acquire knowledge for the design of athletic training programmes in competitive, leisure and health sports. The Master of Education deepens the pedagogical and didactic qualification for the school context.

The English-language MSc in "Sport, Exercise & Health Sciences" has led to a significant internationalisation of the faculty since 2018. The proportion of international students in this degree programme has steadily increased to about 50% and English is a familiar sound in the faculty building. Individual English-language courses are also optionally offered in the Bachelor's degree courses. International researchers and teaching staff can be recruited through externally funded projects. International exchange and virtual exchange are constantly being developed with Erasmus partners.

The sports facilities adhere to the latest requirements and permits for teaching and practice-relevant research at the highest level. Sports equipment and media, such as ceiling cameras, VR laboratory, etc. are always meet current requirements. All facilities can also be used for competitions in accordance with association guidelines. Seminar rooms equipped with state-of-the-art technology are attached to the facilities and support the close linking of theory and practice, which is what characterises the Sports Science department in Bochum. Laboratories are accessible to members of all teaching and research areas.

Sports science has a broad interdisciplinary structure, with a good balance of disciplines from the humanities and social sciences as well as the medical and natural sciences. In research, issues are taken from practical areas of sport and health-oriented fields of action and explored within the sub-disciplines starting from basic research through to the application in the context of sport and movement. State-of-the-art labs with the latest metrology technologies enable students to apply innovative methods (including Hypoxielab, MoveLab, isokinetics).

(Inter)national congresses in which students can participate are regularly organized at the faculty. The faculty provides students with lasting experiences through practicals. In addition, the faculty upholds the tradition of fostering an excellent relationship between students and lecturers. The Bochum location is characterised by an extremely active student council, which not least promotes forward-looking topics such as diversity and sustainability in teaching. Students can acquire a sustainability certificate through the RUB.
