Welcome to University Sports.

Dear sports enthusiasts,

With its wide range of sports activities, the Hochschule Niederrhein's University Sports programme aims to help you find a balance, make social contacts, network and at the same time get to know the university locations of Krefeld and Mönchengladbach with their diverse and committed club culture and leisure activities.

We see ourselves as a community and are committed to respectful, appreciative co-operation and against discrimination.

We look forward to your participation in our courses and are always open to your feedback!

Because university sport also thrives on movement.

Applicants in Elite Sport

Reconciling an academic apprenticeship with a career in top-class sport is a particular challenge. The Hochschule Niederrhein therefore offers support options for dual careers in North Rhine-Westphalia.

These include

  • Individual Student Advice
  • Student Degree Programme Counselling based on sports planning

As part of the selection process for degree programmes with local admission restrictions, the HSNR has decided to give priority admission to squad athletes from the national sports associations of the German Olympic Sports Confederation (top associations) (i.e. Olympic squad, perspective squad, supplementary squad, team sports squad, junior squad 1, junior squad 2).

 

Compatibility of Uni & Sport
