Study

As part of their exam preparation for their studies, sports students can book free hall times from 8 am to 4 pm at the ZESG. Free times can be viewed via the online occupancy plan on the ZESG homepage and requested by email to Emil Balk at least 72 hours in advance. As a prerequisite, sports students must name their respective examination module as well as the responsible lecturer(s) in the request. Material Usage and Issuance If materials are required that are not freely accessible in the hall, these must be requested in the email. The students can pick up the material at the Service Point at the respective appointment time. A student ID is required as a deposit for the rental.

Information regarding the upcoming O-Week can be found here.

The optional practice times are additional practice sessions offered during the semester. They complement training in the various sports by supporting the improvement of students' skills and abilities. Through the guidance of qualified instructors, not only effective learning is promoted, but also the risk of injury during independent practice is minimized.

The optional practice times are also open to students who do not participate in the practical seminar. They can serve as preparation for a seminar or be used to expand competencies in other sports.

For all questions and suggestions regarding the optional practice times, Elias Grosse is happy to assist. A current overview of the optional practice times with times, locations, and instructors can be found here.

Basically, we recommend using the optional practice times for preparation. Furthermore, usage is possible in the following way:

• Usage of the halls is only possible after prior registration (72 hours in advance) via email to Emil Balk (emil.balk@sport.uni-goettingen.de).

• A module as well as a lecturer must always be assigned to the usage.

• Short-term requests must be made personally at the Service Point by 3:30 pm on the previous day at the latest.

For students, there is the possibility to borrow and use study-relevant material (for warming up within the scope of a practical course, for teaching demonstrations, or also for individual practice as exam preparation) at the Infopoint/Servicepoint. Private use of the material is excluded. Issuance takes place until 3:30 pm at the Infopoint, afterwards at the Servicepoint; self-service is not permitted.

Practical training is a central component of the sports science 2-subject bachelor's program in the different profiles as well as in the second subject Sports in the Business Education program, whereby practical training focuses on the close link between theory and practice in university education. The focus of this training area is on testing, acquiring, conveying, and analyzing sports and movement-related abilities and skills in the most diverse fields and forms of movement and the (didactic) preparation of the subject area sports and movement with regard to different prerequisites, conditions, and goals.

If you have specific questions about specific study contents of the respective study programs, the following contact persons are available to you at the Institute of Sports Sciences:

• Bachelor Sports/Sports Sciences: Christa Stöcker

• Master Sports Sciences with focus on Prevention, Rehabilitation and Psychosocial Health: Denis Glage and Daniel Großarth

• Master of Education Sports: Tobias Hillebrand

Every half-year shortly before the start of the semester (usually mid-September for the Winter Semester and mid-March for the Summer Semester), the online sports course selection takes place, in which the places in the practical sports courses are distributed among the sports students according to the available capacities. .

• Sports Course Selection (Teaching Profile) - Applies to all students of the BA Sports/Sports Sciences (only Teaching Profile) and the study program Business Education with second subject Sports (B.A. + M.Ed.) who are studying according to a study regulation since 2021 (or newer) ("new study regulation").

• Students who do not study in the Teaching Profile select their courses with practical sports contents (B.Spo.350 modules) quite regularly via the course registration via Stud.IP. They currently do not have to participate in the sports course selection.

.

For students of the old study regulations (up to PO 2020), an overview of the sports practice modules to be taken was created. This shows both which courses are to be taken in the respective modules depending on the study focus and with which different examination achievements these conclude: Overview Sports Practice Modules.

For written examination achievements such as term papers or final theses, a uniform scientific standard applies at the Institute of Sports Sciences, which is based on the requirements of the German Society of Sport Science (dvs). In the Guideline for Term Papers and Final Theses you can read the guidelines for scientific work applicable at the IfS.
