Company training and Master's degree in one: with this new Master's degree program, students acquire practical and theoretical specialist knowledge in order to subsequently gain management qualifications in the constantly growing sports and health industry.

On this Master's degree program, you will acquire basic management know-how and in-depth health-specific knowledge in addition to practical training. In the general management modules, you will learn about leadership skills, entrepreneurship and marketing & sales. Modules such as “Care Management”, “Quality Management” and “Health Promotion and Prevention” provide you with in-depth knowledge in the sports and health sector. A wide selection of elective modules gives you the opportunity to tailor your studies to your interests. The selection includes, for example, “Medical training therapy”, “Training and nutrition in various target groups” and “Stress management/ psychoregulatory procedures”.

In order to be admitted to the dual Master's degree course, you need to have completed at least six semesters of a degree course in sports science, exercise science or health science at a university, university of applied sciences or university of cooperative education. Alternatively, comparable degrees completed at German or foreign universities as well as degrees from accredited Bachelor's degree programs at vocational academies are also valid. An alternative is a completed first degree with additional qualifications and professional experience from the industry including 10 ECTS in economics and 12 ECTS in sports science courses. If you lack these industry-specific ECTS, you can take appropriate bridging courses at the IST University of Applied Sciences for Management.

You will also need a contractual collaboration with a suitable training company.

The target group for this Master's degree course includes anyone who would like to complete a health-specific and internationally recognized academic degree in combination with in-company training. It is suitable for Bachelor's graduates who want to become managers and leaders in the healthcare sector and acquire key qualifications for professional tasks in health promotion/prevention, rehabilitation, curative care or acute clinics.
