Teaching is explicitly application and research-oriented: Teaching in-depth specialist knowledge, sport and teaching skills, scientific methodological skills and professional qualifications with a balanced student-lecturer ratio; Substantial combination of theory and practice thanks to collaboration with external partners (educational institutes, organised sport, fitness and healthcare providers, clinics, local authorities, commercial providers); Involvement in research discourse through active project work; Cross-university teaching partnerships; Involvement of professional experts as lecturers.

Science-based teaching, involvement of students in internal research projects, use of existing laboratories, teaching in-depth specialist knowledge, in-depth methodological knowledge, internal research projects, colloquia to promote presenting and discussing skills, courses with an optimal student-teacher ratio, profile development possible, courses with external partners (other KIT faculties, other sports institutes via the Eucor research network), participation of professional experts in the courses
