In addition to established teaching methods, problem-based learning, which is used in medicine, is applied as well, which prepares students for the challenges of starting a career and carrying out everyday work.

Together with international partner universities, we try to offer students the option of a stay abroad (studies, final thesis and internship), especially as part of the extracurricular master's degree programmes.

A joint DAAD-funded opportunity with the universities of JKUAT Nairobi and Stellenbosch/South Africa in the field of #AppliedNeurosciences has been in place for three years. The Universities of Montpellier/France and the NTNU in Norway are currently working on a joint teaching concept (#TrainingTwins), which also provides for blended intensive programmes (BIPs) at the European level in the form of a summer school that alternates location annually. Both programs are to be merged and anchored in the curriculum.

The spatial resources available for the courses in the field of "Theory and Practice of Types of Sport" are two triple sports halls, two gymnastics rooms and a health training centre. In addition, the Sports Institute has extensive outdoor facilities (athletics facility, two football fields, tennis courts, beach volleyball courts, a golf course, paddle tennis, callisthenics), as well as excellently equipped teaching and research laboratories in specific sub-disciplines (training sciences, sports medicine, psychology & movement).

The research topic "Sport and Health" forms, in addition to the interests of the specific sections, the inter-disciplinary framework of the department. Applied research in the fields of Rehabilitation, Prevention, Fitness and Competitive Sports offers both a variety of approaches with excellent opportunities for research in biomechanical, sport psychological, neuroscientific and sport medical research laboratories in the different areas, as well providing a unique feature within Germany due to the Neurological and Neuroscience focus.

The Department of Sport and Health cooperates successfully in the field of research and teaching with institutions from the health market and competitive sports. There are numerous collaborations with institutions such as clinics and therapy centres as well as with sports persons, clubs and associations from national and international high-performance sport. On the one hand, the cooperation agreements allow practice-oriented teaching for the students (e.g. in the orthopaedic biomechanics lab of a rehabilitation clinic) and, on the other hand, application-oriented research (e.g. in the national football, handball and basketball leagues).
