The "Partner University of Elite Sports" project was launched in 1999 by the German University Sports Association (adh). Achieving top sporting performance requires an extraordinarily high time commitment from athletes.
As competitive sport is often practiced at a stage in life when the foundations for a professional career are also being laid, models must be created to combine university studies with a career in sport. This cooperation agreement is intended to enable top athletes studying at the TU to compensate for disadvantages so that they can successfully complete their academic education at the university despite the time constraints of top-class sport.
In individual cases, TU Braunschweig endeavors to provide top student athletes with the necessary support in reconciling their studies and top-class sport.
