Experts from industry are involved in teaching; in selected courses, students are given the opportunity to conceive, organise and evaluate important events and thus translate their knowledge in practical contexts (DHM, ERBE city run Tübingen, ARD Sport Forum etc.); research-based teaching for Master's and teacher training candidates; project-based teaching; inter-disciplinary links between content in selected project seminars

High-performance sport research in the Social and Behavioural Sciences (DFB, Bisp, UEFA etc.); sport and health-related educational research; mixture of basic and application-related research in the fields of Biomechanics and Sports Medicine; links to "Education" excellence area of the Universität Tübingen (Science campus, excellence initiative, quality initiative in teacher training); Interfaculty Research Institute for Sport and Physical Activity together with the Faculty of Medicine

With five professorships, one co-opted professorship and one junior professorship (compared to other institutes), the Institute of Sport Sciences at the University of Tübingen is relatively broadly positioned and thus also offers students a wide range of expertise; teaching also benefits from the correspondingly broadly positioned - mostly application-oriented - research, as the respective research findings are directly incorporated here.
