I particularly like the close link between practice and theory.
You can focus into certain aspects
and adjust your own interests using practical sports experience.
I really like the fact that the Institute of Sport Science is in Bern.
The lecturers are very friendly,
and it’s important for them to foster social interaction.
The Sports Science program at the University of Bern is practice oriented.
That means our teaching deals with topics relevant to practice.
The Bachelors program is still taught rather broadly.
The Masters, in contrast, is strongly oriented towards the professional field.
We cooperate with partners such as clinics, schools, and federations
We try to give the students skills
that will make it easier for them to start their careers.
I had the opportunity to choose a major-minor at the University of Bern.
For my major I chose sport science and as my minor, business administration.
Then in my later studies I did media and communication.
This was the perfect set up to start my own business.
Today I am the CEO of UNIK Sports.
We’ve made it our mission to pass on the pleasure
of doing sport and movement for leisure and for fitness.
You can tailor your study plan
to your individual interests and goals in the Masters of Sports Science.
This is supported by coaching and individual mentoring.
We have a very modern infrastructure at the Institute,
which is of course practical when it comes to the digitalization of studies.
However, we still attach great importance to presence,
because you learn a lot in groups.
That's why being together on site is incredibly important for us.
All the theoretical and scientific information has been extremely useful.
Especially, when I need to explain complex ideas
to customers, employees or potential partners.
