Sports Science

Welcome…

…to the web pages of the Department of Sports Science at the University of Wuppertal.

The Department of Sports Science point at its history with a little hint: On the initiative of the student council, a collection of sportswear with the historical number 46 on each item of clothing has been designed. In the year 1946, the “Pedagogic Academy” was founded and with its formation, it was possible to study Sports Science in Wuppertal. Out of it grew the Department of Sports Science as part of the Faculty of Educational and Social Sciences of the University of Wuppertal (FB G) as it exists today.
