Bewerbung, Vorbereitung und Zulassung

Here you will find general application information.
Specific information on application, preparation and admission can be found on the pages of the respective degree programme under "Course Profile" as well as on the pages for "Prospective Students".

PLEASE NOTE: the sports aptitude test at the University of Hamburg was abolished in 2023. It is therefore no longer part of the admission requirements for studying Human Movement Science, whether in the undergraduate Bachelor's programme or in the Teacher Training programme. All other documents required for admission must still be submitted upon enrolment.

• Application and Admission
  • Applications for a degree in Human Movement Science or for the partial degree programme "Sport" within a Teacher Training degree are only possible for the winter semester.
  • Please note that the application deadline for Master's degree programmes at the Institute of Human Movement Science from the winter semester 2025/26 onwards starts one month earlier, running from 1 May to 15 June.
