Special features regarding teachingTeaching in the subject of sport is both research- and application-oriented in order to prepare students for corresponding professional fields. Numerous additional qualifications, e.g. trainer licenses, can be acquired during the course of study. The range of sports offered is broad and, due to the geographical location of the university, focuses on nature sports. The number of first-year students is limited so that courses can be held in small groups. The students are supported and personally and individually. The degree course is evaluated regularly.
