Traditionelle Chinesische Medizin (TCM)

About

In China and throughout East Asia, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has developed almost entirely without interruption during the course of the last 2000 years. This alone provides this form of medicine with great inner stability. This art of healing arrived in the West in the exotic form of acupuncture around 300 years ago. The first efforts to deal seriously with the subject were made around 50 years ago, when rigorous work commenced on sources and on understanding the epistemological and philosophical background.

The vocational education and training offered by the master's program is the first and only one of its kind at a Western university. Doctors become familiar with the different paradigms, special diagnostic methods, and pathophysiology, as well as therapeutic procedures. The most important therapeutic procedure has always been Chinese medicine therapy. Though better known to us, acupuncture is of secondary importance. Further therapeutic forms such as physical exercises (tai chi, qigong), dietetics and techniques of manipulative medicine (tui na) are also taught.

Upon successfully completing the bachelor's program in Sport Science, professional opportunities arise in various sectors. These include sports clubs and associations, health care, sport management and sport communication, as well as commercial companies active in the sports sector.
