Sports classes at the University Sports Center in Munich
The University Sports Center (ZHS) offers classes in team sports, climbing, fitness and health, martial arts, dance, new and intramural activities, gymnastics and track and field, and water and winter sports. With approximately 600 classes each semester, we have a diverse program for every target group. Besides the large selection of activities, ZHS makes it possible for students to participate in national and international university championships. Many top athletes’ careers started with student competitions. Because of their numerous national and international successes, ZHS plays a leading role in Germany.
What classes are for which levels?
The sports program is for everyone, regardless of ability.
In order to offer a wide variety, classes are divided up based on ability.
Class A: for beginners who want to try out the sport.
Class F: for students at an intermediate level who already know the basics and can improve from there.
Class L: for advanced students with special training methods and a foundation for participating in student competitions.

We charge a one-time 20.00 € processing fee for cancellations.

Class availability forum: If a student cannot participate in a class that is already reserved and paid for and they miss a cancellation deadline, or a class is already completely booked, students can use our ZHS Class availability forumi , which is a course exchange platform. Arrangements made here, be it course details or financial matters, are made among the exchange-partners themselves. The ZHS ultimately only needs the name of the person moving up.
