How to apply
What you need to apply for Physical Activity and Health at University of Erlangen-Nuremberg (FAU Erlangen-Nuremberg)
A first tertiary level degree e.g. a Bachelor degree, or in the German system a “Diplom” or “Staatsexamen” from one of the following subject fields; Sport Science, Kinesiology /Exercise Science, Physiotherapy, Rehabilitation Science, Health Education, Health Science/Public Health.In exceptional cases students may be accepted to the program if they have completed a comparable degree for example in Physical Education, Psychology, Sociology, Political Science, Anthropology, or Medicine. Students must provide evidence they have undertaken an equivalent of at least 20 ECTS credit points in the subjects of either Sport/ Physiotherapy/ Public Health, or have at least 1 year working experience (full-time) in one of these fields.Minimum final grade point average required for applicants to apply:75% or higher for students from a percentage based grading system,3.00 or higher for students from a 4-point-scale GPA based system (e.g. USA) or 2.5 or lower for German students.
English Language certificate B2 level.Applicants not providing CEFR B2 level language certificates may have to take an additional English language exam at the [University Language Center](http://www.sz.uni-erlangen.de/) prior to enrollment, regardless of the score achieved in other language tests.
State level regulations require that all non-native German speakers acquire the level A1 of German language skills at least one year after beginning their studies in Germany.
All the required documents must be submitted on the online portal [Campo](https://www.campo.fau.de/qisserver/pages/cs/sys/portal/hisinoneStartPage.faces). (Please do not mail any required application materials to FAU. The documents should be uploaded exclusively online via Campo.)
Attending an academic MA programme in a non-native language is quite demanding. Your language skills must be sufficient to listen to lecturers, read scientific articles/books, discuss its contents, answer written questions about the contents of texts, and write term papers. Many students in the programme are either English language native speakers, or have English language skills on the C1 or C2 level. All applicants whose native language is not English and who did not do their BA/MA in a programme that used English language as a medium of instruction must therefore submit an English language certificate demonstrating that their language skills fulfil the requirements of our programme. The minimum language skill level required is B2 of the [CEFR European language portfolio](https://www.coe.int/en/web/common-european-framework-refe...). Please visit our [“Admission Requirements”](https://www.sport.fau.eu/studium/studiengaenge/master/adm...) section for more information on language certificates.
