Annotation
The Master’s degree course in "Applied Neurosciences in Sports & Exercise" aims to train experts who can demonstrate the effects of neuroscience in connection with sports and exercise. The curriculum in the Master of Science programme has a strong scientific focus. At the same time, as the "Applied" in the title of the degree course suggests, all content is put in a real-world context and implemented in application-oriented learning arrangements with "real people" (i.e. patients, amateur or professional athletes, older and younger people, students and professionals).
