Got 20 minutes? The Baltic Sea’s sandy beaches are calling from the Institut für Sportwissenschaft.
Welcome to the Institut für Sportwissenschaft. It is a place where sport is not just an activity. It is a way of life. For over 90 years, this institute has been a hub of sports education and research in Rostock.
Imagine students planning sports activities. They apply theoretical knowledge and tailor programs for different groups. This blend of theory and practice is a key part of the curriculum here at the Institut für Sportwissenschaft.
The Institut für Sportwissenschaft has a long history. Despite its age, the institute remains vibrant. It is always evolving to meet future demands. The location of the Hanseatic city on the Warnow River and its proximity to the Baltic Sea add to its appeal.
In 2025, prospective students will face an Eignungsprüfung, an aptitude test. This takes place on June 12th and 13th. It ensures that only the most dedicated and capable individuals join the ranks of the Sportwissenschaft.
