The graduates of the Master's program in Sports Science have an extended and in-depth knowledge in the natural science, medical and social science fields of sports science. According to individual interests, profiling takes place in the technical areas of sports science, in the area of health sports or target-group-specific with a focus on sports and physical activity of children and young people.

Graduates are able to define and interpret the particularities, limitations, terminologies and doctrines in the chosen thematic and theoretical fields of sports science. They can reflect the current state of research and understand, analyse, assess and further develop internationally published specialist literature. They can formulate their own research ideas, select suitable methods, apply appropriate test procedures and analyse, evaluate, interpret and classify results.

Graduates can plan, carry out and evaluate target-group-specific movement-related interventions. In doing so, they are in a position to take social developments and scientific findings into account, to assess complexity and risks and to develop improvement and solution approaches.

Graduates can independently familiarise themselves with new subject areas related to the study subject and transfer learned methods to other questions as well as apply them in a situation-specific manner. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of the subject and the numerous cooperations with institutions from other disciplines, the graduates have points of contact with other disciplines and can exchange ideas with their representatives as well as with representatives of their own subject. They can use suitable presentation methods to discuss on a scientific level and to debate and internationally present information, ideas and problems.

Graduates can work both independently and as part of a team and, through contact with specific target groups such as children and young people, the elderly, sportsmen and women or patients, have a pronounced degree of social behaviour that enables them to deal appropriately with a wide variety of groups of people. They are therefore particularly qualified for fields of activity in industry, the service sector and the health sector as well as for a subsequent academic career (doctorate).
