Description of the programme
At the same time, young students today expect more from their career entry, which is why a dual study programme is often a wise decision. With a dual study programme, you can start your coaching career at an academic level and gain valuable practical experience at the same time. For the most part, you spend your time at the club, association or company that hires you as a dual student. In your everyday work, you can then put your acquired expertise directly into practice. The possibility that your employer will continue to employ you after you have completed your studies is very high. You also benefit from the fact that you receive a monthly training allowance during your dual study programme. As a rule, your training company will also pay your tuition fees.
In the course of the dual study programme, you will acquire:
Sound knowledge in the key areas of sports medicine, diagnostics, training science, sports nutrition, performance management, biomechanics, competition management and regeneration.
Skills in analytical areas and data management.
Psychological and social skills for coaching.
Know-how in organisation and coaching.
Basic knowledge of the social and legal framework of the coaching profession.
All study contents are aligned with the current requirements on the labour market.
