During their studies, our sports students complete several study-integrated internships. In the first two years of study, regional club internships accompany their studies, and in the third year of study, 2 full-time internships of 4 weeks each take place with potential employers to explore occupational fields. For this purpose, cooperation agreements are concluded with the internship institutions for the duration of the internships. There are a number of long-term cooperations for the implementation of practical sports courses, field excursions and as partners for theses. A selection of important institutions and organisations in this regard is listed here:
