Teaching Degree (Lehramt, Staatsexamen): Sports at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU)

Elementary school, middle school, secondary school, grammar school „Get moving – for your future!“, „One spirit – one team“, „Just do it!“, „Sport does Germany good“ These ideas are often associated with the subject of sport, yet there are more and more „gym bag forgetters“, „bench pressers“ and „school sport refusers“. If you share your enthusiasm for movement, games and sports with young people and would like to pass on the unique experiences you have had while playing sports, if you would like to work with students beyond the classroom, then the profession of sports teacher is just right and certainly interesting for you!

What you will study

The subject-related scientific (FW) and subject-related didactic (FD) studies are closely interwoven in the subject of sport, so that a high level of teaching competence can be assumed at the end of the teaching degree program. Here you will learn to use methods of sports science work in a variable way, to analyze findings and to classify them in relation to the theoretical fields of sports science. This will provide you with a sound knowledge of sports biology, exercise and training science, sports psychology and sports pedagogy.
