Special features regarding teaching
Experts from industry are involved in teaching; in selected courses, students are given the opportunity to conceive, organise and evaluate important events and thus translate their knowledge in practical contexts (DHM, ERBE city run Tübingen, ARD Sport Forum etc.); research-based teaching for Master's and teacher training candidates; project-based teaching; inter-disciplinary links between content in selected project seminars
Exchange universities for stay abroads
Universität Rikkyo Tokio, Japan; Universität Lousanne Schweiz; Universität Florenz, Italien; Universität Prag, Tschechische Republik; Universität Bern, Schweiz; Universität Aix-Marseille, Frankreich; Universität Valencia, Spanien; Universität Izmir, Türkei; Universität Molde, Norwegen

Implementation at the University of Tübingen: Position of the contact person for top-level sports promotion at the IfS.
Special features regarding research activities
High-performance sport research in the Social and Behavioural Sciences (DFB, Bisp, UEFA etc.); sport and health-related educational research; mixture of basic and application-related research in the fields of Biomechanics and Sports Medicine; links to "Education" excellence area of the Universität Tübingen (Science campus, excellence initiative, quality initiative in teacher training); Interfaculty Research Institute for Sport and Physical Activity together with the Faculty of Medicine
Other special features
With five professorships, one co-opted professorship and one junior professorship (compared to other institutes), the Institute of Sport Sciences at the University of Tübingen is relatively broadly positioned and thus also offers students a wide range of expertise; teaching also benefits from the correspondingly broadly positioned - mostly application-oriented - research, as the respective research findings are directly incorporated here.
