Are you interested in pursuing a degree in sports at the University of Potsdam or another university? If so, the sports aptitude test at the end of May 2027 will be the first hurdle you’ll need to clear. The University Sports Department organizes preparatory courses and supports you in your training. Your endurance, strength, speed, and coordination will be thoroughly challenged and tested in the sports aptitude test. Get to know the training facilities that will be part of your academic experience, and let our dedicated and motivated coaches provide you with expert guidance. Please contact the advising service with any questions regarding the athletic aptitude test, exam requirements, dates, registration, or similar matters. The staff in the Department of Sports and Health Sciences are your points of contact.

• There are no classes on holidays.
• Which status group should I choose? You’ll find an explanation in the Terms and Conditions, under “Conditions of Participation and Fees”!
• Participation in the preparatory courses does not guarantee that you will pass the sports aptitude test.
