Physical Education courses aim at educating PE teachers equipped with qualifications to plan and run classes in various kinds of schools and educational centres.
Full-time students can take part in optional courses and acquire different specialisations, e.g. a sports commentator, and obtain additional qualifications, e.g. a second-class coaching licence or a sports instructor licence in a chosen discipline.
Undergraduate courses
Graduates obtain the degree of Bachelor of Science in Physical Education and acquire knowledge of biology and social studies along with appropriate skills which enable them to competently exert impact on the human body development and, by means of pedagogical methods, affect the development of students’ personalities.
Graduates can work as PE teachers in primary, middle and secondary schools, non-school educational institutions, sports organisations and physical education centres.
Students can choose optional courses and obtain instructor’s licences in different sports disciplines.
Postgraduate courses

Thanks to their qualifications they can exert competent influence on the development of the human body and personality and satisfy the immediate needs of their students in their somatic and motor development.
