Target group

Well-being is much more than just the absence of illness. But can well-being be achieved without health at all? Or is well-being a necessary condition for health? And how can well-being and / or health be achieved through exercise? These are just a few of the questions we will discuss with you in this hands-on, inclusive Masters program. Our understanding of how well-being can be achieved is strongly influenced by our cultural backgrounds. In addition to the Western-oriented approaches to achieving well-being, a focal point of this study program is on Far Eastern alternatives for achieving well-being: During two stays abroad, we offer you the opportunity to study the basics and applications of Ayurveda and Yoga as well as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Qigong at partner universities in India and China. In order to assess the diverse effects of these Western and Far Eastern approaches to well-being, you will also gain insights into the most up-to-date scientific methods in the fields of cognitive psychology, movement, training and neuroscience and use these in their own research projects and internships. These include the measurement of brain states based on brain electromagnetic and hemodynamic activity, effects on various heart rate dependent variables, changes in skin resistance, variations in the infrared spectrum or changes in gas discharge. Courses on health psychology, occupational health management (BGM) and the influence of different nutritional concepts round off a study program that is so far unique in Europe in this form. Our goal is to provide you with the knowledge and skills needed to critically reflect, scientifically review and assess a wide range of well-being pathways. In this study program you will acquire the necessary competencies to offer, for example, a holistic analysis and therapy recommendations for athletes in clubs and training centres and in cooperation with physicians for patients, to advise in the field of health management and to organise events or to train in the field of medical assistance professions. Of course, you can also opt for a postgraduate program / doctoral program.
