Study Sports in Germany: 17 Universities with 29 English Degree Programs
All important info for international students in Germany (2024/2025)
English-language Master’s programs in Sports are offered by some universities in Germany, the German Sports University of Cologne being the most prominent among them. While the various courses deal with different questions regarding sports - the ethics and politics of it, management, performance analysis, and health - it might come as a surprise that in most programs, students don’t actually do sports as part of the curriculum.
Instead, many programs in this subject field are research oriented and often interdisciplinary. They for example intersect with subjects such as Psychology, Political Science, Business Administration or Neuroscience. Yet, many of them don’t lose the practical side of things out of their sight, either; many Master’s degrees in Sports have the objective to prepare students for the business world and enable them to design therapies or trainings themselves. The Study Finder gives you an overview of all your options.
