Advanced knowledge in English. Proof must be submitted to the Application and Enrollment Office by the application deadline and cannot be submitted later. Knowledge in German language is not required.

Evidence of a successfully passed vocational internship (min. 8 weeks in the field of sport science) before starting the master's studies. Proof must be provided to the Department's Student Advisory Office no later than 5 weeks after the start of lectures. The Department's Examination Board examines vocational qualifications on the basis of the Professional Qualifications Directive. Internships passed during an undergraduate degree will be recognized. The proof of internship should be submitted by the start of course registration at the beginning of October, as a valid matriculation status is required for registration (proof of internship does not have to be submitted by the end of the application period). Please note that no definitive assessments can be made about the internship by the faculty in advance. Applicants with a Bachelor's degree at the Faculty SG do not have to submit proof of practical training (available in-house).

Essay. Applicants should include an essay of their Bachelor thesis (300-500 words). If the thesis is not complete at the time of the application or is not required in the bachelor\`s program, the essay can instead by a description of the main concept (scientific problem, methods). In the case that an international applicant was not required to write a Bachelor thesis, they should instead instead submit a scientific exposé (300-500 words). The exposé should cover a research project conducted during the Bachelor studies e.g. in one of the courses or during an internship. This exposé should detail a scientific question that is relevant to the field of sport science and by what scientific methods one might use to answer this question. The essay/exposé should meet international scientific standards in form and content, should properly cite outside sources, and should include a declaration that the applicant has written the essay/exposé by him/herself.
