Study Content

Contents in myStudium Fitnessökonomie

The myStudium in Fitness Economics teaches you the scientific principles and specialist methodological knowledge of this booming industry. In addition to the basic knowledge of fitness management and the fitness markets, you will acquire in-depth knowledge in the areas of event management, training and nutrition and the health market. There is a particular focus on teaching management skills. During your studies, you will also have the opportunity to take exciting elective modules and even choose an internship, which will give you an insight into real working life in the fitness industry. As an alternative to the internship, you can take six particularly practical modules. This makes your degree particularly practical.


Our Bachelor's degree program has a modular structure, i.e. you study based on subject areas that are divided into modules. After successfully completing the modules, you will be credited with ECTS points (European Credit Transfer System), which document your achievements. These ECTS points are internationally comparable and of course recognized.


Compulsory elective modules: In compulsory elective areas A, B and C, you choose two compulsory elective modules each. Compulsory elective area D: Decide at the beginning between an internship at a company or modules from elective area D. You complete the internship with a practical reflection. If you opt for the modules from compulsory elective area D, all modules from this area must be completed. Mixed forms between internship and elective area D are not possible.

That's possible: with us, you have the opportunity to deepen your knowledge in an integrated internship in the field of activity of your degree program (30 ECTS credits). Alternatively, you can expand your expertise in six practice-oriented modules (30 ECTS credits). Simply decide in the first semester on the type of practical relevance that suits you and your goals.
