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.
Who is entitled to participate?
Eligible to participate in university sports are the members according to Art. 17 (1) BayHSchG of the state universities in Munich, Freising and Landshut as well as of the non-state universities and employees of the authorities or institutions within the remit of the Central University Sports Office Munich who are directly involved in university education. Participation does not apply to members of higher education institutions funded by the federal government.
Students at other universities (including those abroad) are also entitled to admission, provided that their main place of residence is Munich or they can prove that they are staying in Munich for study purposes.
Relatives of the above-mentioned persons are also eligible, but must provide proof (e.g. joint tenancy agreement or certificate of registration).
