#BudgetFriendly
High gym fees, restrictive membership contracts? Forget it! The UW/H Student Services Organisation is the only one in Germany to offer all its sports activities to students free of charge.
#StudyLifeBalance
After long days of studying in lecture theatres and the library, it’s good to switch off and get some exercise. Whether you want to work out, improve your fitness or just relax, at UW/H you’ll find the sport you need to balance out your student life. By the way: in the ‘Room of Silence’ on campus, there are regular yoga and mindfulness classes to help you find balance in your studies.
#TeamSpirit
Our sports programme is a central part of university life and strengthens the sense of community. Join the football team or the running group and quickly make new friends among your fellow students and members of the UW/H community. Our aim: 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.
Enjoy variety, balance and a sense of community!
