Institute of Sports Science
In 1975 – the year the University of Bayreuth was founded – students could register for the subject “Sports” in the Winter Semester. In 1981, a two semester post-graduate programme “Sports Law and Sports Management” was introduced. The educational objective at that time already focused on the preparation of students for careers bridging sport, business and law. In 1985, the interdisciplinary diploma degree course “Sport, Business & Law” was conceived and established. By 2008, the University of Bayreuth had conferred the diploma degree on more than 1,000 graduates. In addition, the course “Sports” is an integral component of the teaching certificate programmes for future teachers at the collegepreparatory high school and secondary school levels at the University of Bayreuth.
In the course of the Bologna Process, which is focusing on a uniform European Higher Education Area, the Bachelor’s degree programme “Sport, Business & Law” began in 2007 with the internationally accredited degree “Bachelor of Science”. At present the University of Bayreuth is developing a high quality Master’s Degree Programme building on the Bachelor’s Degree which is targeted at particularly successful graduates of the Bachelor’s programme.
