What will I learn?
The Master’s programme in Sport and Exercise Science: Therapy-Health-Performance intends to deepen knowledge and to develop competences in sport and exercise science. In particular, students are enabled to work on complex tasks and problems in both research and application contexts. For this purpose, a clear professional field orientation towards specific target groups is pursued. The Master’s degree programme in Sport and Exercise Science builds on the Bachelor’s degree programme in Sport and Exercise Science and imparts all the competences that are required according to the training ordinance of the Federal Minister of Health (Federal Law Gazette II No. 460/2012) for the practice of training therapy in accordance with the Medical Assistant Professions Act. In addition, the Master’s degree programme in Sport and Exercise Science: Therapy-Health-Performance allows for focus to be set in the areas of training therapy, health-oriented sports or competitive sports. Students will acquire scientifically sound practical competence (evidence-based practice) and practically sound scientific competence (practice-based evidence). Graduates are qualified for management and leadership positions in the relevant professional fields and are able to further develop the relevant field against the background of their expertise.

What makes Salzburg so special as a place to study?
The campus in Hallein/Rif is embedded in a unique mountain scenery about 10 km south of Salzburg in the Salzach valley. It offers excellently equipped sports facilities, including sports halls, an athletics hall, tennis courts, beach volleyball facilities, a climbing tower, a slackline park and a stadium with grass pitches and a running track. Modern lecture halls and seminar rooms offer the best conditions for intensive study. The faculty’s subject library and well-equipped laboratories, including spiroergometry, motion capture system, force plates, EMG, running diagnostics, ultrasound, EEG and eye movement analyses round off the study opportunities. Studies at the department of sport and exercise are characterised by a close link between theory and practice. Through strong international networking and interdisciplinary research projects, students experience first-hand the implementation of sport and movement science findings in practice-relevant application contexts. A broad range of subjects that are highly connected to future-oriented professional fields forms the basis for a sustainable education.
