stay for one semester

The Institute for Sports and Sport Science at the University of Kassel
we can offer a variety of in-depth practical courses (traditional ball
games, track and field, swimming, gymnastics and dance) with english
language exams at the end. In-line with attendance, exchange students
will learn some basic German in elemantary language courses,
communicate with German fellow students during classes, and acquire
knowledge and teaching skills to successfully pass the English
language examinations. Reports from our past exchange students provide
evidence that this concept is very beneficial for international
students with no German langugae skills.

In addition, exchange students may attend a limited number of directed
studies (e.g. in biomechanics, exercise science, perception in sports,
sport psychology, sport sociology, sport pedagogy) as guided reading
courses. These courses refer to English textbooks which will be
studied in the course of one semester. Students will meet with the
professor once or twice a week to report on and discuss the respective
chapters of the textbook in Englisg language. In this respect,
international students will be provided with strong personal guidance
and support by their German professors. In addition, fellow stduents
from Germany will accompany international students during their first
two weeks to get adjusted to Kassel university life. Masters students
will have the opportunity to engage in special advanced lab courses on
sport psychology, biomechanics, motor learning, motor control, and
exercise science.
