Module handbook M.Sc. Psychology in Sport and Exercise [M.Sc. PSE] Valid for first-year students: Winter term 2021/22 onward Learning outcomes Competences The Master of Science “Psychology of Sport and Exercise” is a research-oriented consecutive course of studies. It aims to integrate research topics of psychology and sport science such that a perspective emerges related to movement, health, organization, and relevant aspects of neuro- and social science. During their studies, students acquire academic knowledge and competences to represent, scientifically explore, and to transfer these aspects to the applied field. With respect to scientific competences, they acquire and deepen the ability to process research questions from a broad range of sport psychological basic research (e.g. the role of motivation, emotion, and cognition in sports). In addition, they acquire a broad spectrum of research methods related to data analysis and study conduction. Thereby, they take advantage of the national and international networks of the participating institutes, specifically of the Institute of Psychology. Overall, the graduates are being qualified for activities and occupation in sport psychology, sport science, as well as in psychology. With respect to competences in the applied field, the students acquire and deepen the ability to develop, conduct and evaluate sport psychological consulting, diagnostics and intervention on a solid scientific ground. This is supported by the acquisition of organizational competences, e.g. the ability to develop networks, conduct educative workshops. Thus, here knowledge-related competences will go in hand with concrete competence related to occupational actions. Generally, the students will extend their general, i.e. translational competences going beyond their professional profile. By this and the unique curriculum of PSE, students will be able to apply their knowledge to other fields and solve complex problems in an innovative way. Going beyond this, students learn basic strategies of scientific problem solving. This will allow them to make competent decisions in situations with restricted access to information. Further, they will be able to acquire knowledge and competences in new fields. This will be achieved by interdisciplinary work groups where they test project and self management. Additionally, the studies support and sharpen the attitude towards life-long learning in academic occupation. Also, students will be supported to be able to fulfil social, ethical and moral aspects. Competences related to communication and emotions are becoming increasingly important for work success. Thus, learning and acting in teams is an essential aspect when studying PSE, as well as presenting research topics. Thereby, different target groups will be addressed ranging from the scientific community to the applied field, as well as laypeople. Graduates should be able to present, discuss and communicate sovereignly with respect to the demands of these target groups. Other aspects like the development of personality or social competences will be taken into account as well by providing an academic framework that allows the graduates to develop themselves to sensible, interested and critical individuals. Especially intercultural exchange is a challenge that provides the opportunity for experience and to learn critical reflection. The communication competences will be extended by integrating different teaching strategies (e.g. tutor system in PSE 1 and project work in PSE10, team work in PSE4).
