BSc Movement Science at University of Stuttgart

The study of movement science covers topics such as biomechanics, exercise science, modelling and simulation, sports medicine, motor control and psychology. You will learn to describe and explain the fascinating mechanisms of human movement from a primarily scientific perspective. The transfer of this knowledge to various fields of application, such as orthopaedics and sports equipment technology, ensures that the degree programme has a strong practical focus.

Duration: 6 semesters (3 years)  |  Study mode: full-time, German-taught  |  Intake: Winter semester  |  Location: Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg, Germany

What you will study

In this study programme, you acquire broad knowledge about the complexity of human movement. For this, you need anatomical, physiological, and biomechanical knowledge, which is provided in lectures and seminars. Mathematical methods, essential for modelling movement sequences, are primarily taught in the modules "Advanced Mathematics 1 & 2" and "Statistics and Data Analysis".

Career pathways

Graduates are particularly well-qualified for roles in industry, elite sports organisations, healthcare organisations, and research. Development and optimisation of sports equipment, wearables, prosthetics, and orthotics. Measurement systems technology (e.g., kinematic and electrophysiological systems, product consulting).
