Purpose and Goals

The International Summer School of Sport Science (IS4) offers academic courses in the field of sport science. Students from all over the world are invited to participate. Attending students may rely on a mutual agreement between their home universities to support the IS4 and the University of Kassel to acknowledge student credits and grades received during summer school attendance. In this regard, the program comprises an international cooperation between academic sport science institutions to provide opportunities for international student exchange for a short-term period between semesters. Aside from academic classes, the IS4 goals are to have students learn about the cultural background of the country where the summer school is held as well as to provide opportunities to meet with fellow students from other countries. In this respect, trips to regional cultural sites are part of the IS4 as well as get-togethers and sport involvement which will be organized at the University of Kassel in Germany.
