Additional aspects

Target group and Study focus:

The M.A. Applied Sportpsychology comprises aspects of psychology, sport, performance optimization and stabilization and health in performance settings from an applied perspective. The course will provide the academic knowledge and foundational research as well as applied skills necessary to pursue careers in research or applied fields. The program targets graduates with a degree in psychology or a degree in sport science.

​

What to do afterwards, jobs perspectives

Graduates of the master programme will be eligible for further study or employment (e.g. as a PhD student or lecturer) in research institutions orientated towards the fields of motion-, health or cognitive science. Graduates also looking to pursue a career in the applied setting should more consider a career as a sport psychological expert, providing performance and personal development support to professional and recreational athletes or clients outside of the sport setting. Aside from self-employment, potential employers include many associations, clubs and support centres for competitive sports, reflecting the growing demand for sport psychology consultants. Furthermore, potential employers search specifically for sport psychologists with an applied background, as ensuring effective diagnostics and interventions (including quality management and evaluation) are an essential field. As such, the Applied Sportpsychology master will lay the foundation for independent planning, implementation and evaluation of sport psychology-oriented diagnostics and interventions.
