#BudgetFriendly
High gym fees, gagging contracts for memberships? You can forget it! As a UW/H student, all sports programmes are free of charge.
#StudyLifeBalance
After long days of studying in seminar rooms and the library, it's good to switch off and get some exercise. Whether you want to work out, improve your fitness level or relax, at the UW/H you will find the sport you need for a relaxing balance to everyday study life. By the way: there are regular yoga and mindfulness courses in the Room of Silence on campus to help you find your balance during your studies.
#Team spirit
Our sports programme is a central part of university life and strengthens the community. Join the football team or the running group and quickly make new contacts with fellow students and UW/H members. Our goal: to have fun together, celebrate successes and learn new things!
What you need to know
As soon as you are enrolled at the UW/H, you will automatically receive access to our course catalogue and can register for the sport of your choice.
Whether you are a beginner or advanced, there is something for every training level. The courses usually take place in the afternoons or evenings during the lecture period and therefore fit perfectly into your unit day.
You'll get your money's worth with this network!
We work together with the Ruhr University Bochum (RUB) so that your sporting heart doesn't have to miss out on anything. As a UW/H student, you can use the entire RUB sports programme at normal student conditions.
Not far from the university is the blue:beach Witten on the Kemnader reservoir. Here you can play beach volleyball all year round (in winter on the heated indoor beach) - holiday feeling guaranteed!
To offer you even more options, we are also networked with various sports clubs. These include the Witten Rowing Club, whose training waters are located in the middle of the "Hohenstein" recreational area between Witten and Wetter.
