The German Sport University Cologne is Germany’s only university specialising in sport and a leading international centre for sport science. Here, we combine research, teaching and practice in a unique setting – in the heart of Cologne’s green belt and closely linked to sport, society and partners in the field worldwide. Through interdisciplinary thinking and a strong practical focus, we develop solutions to the key issues in sport: from performance and health, through education and prevention, to digitalisation and innovation. In doing so, we always view sport as a social responsibility. We embrace diversity and internationalism, promote exchange and collaboration, and create space for new ideas – in our degree programmes, in research and in practical application. In this way, we play an active role in shaping the sport of tomorrow.
