Dear Students!

Our Faculty is strongly committed to daily physical activity and sport for its health-promoting and beneficial effects, and we would like to encourage all students of the Faculty to incorporate some form of recreational or even competitive sport into their daily lives.

We believe that regular weekly exercise can not only help to maintain the general health of our students in terms of cardiorespiratory fitness, but also has a proven positive effect on general wellbeing and mental activity. Our Faculty aims to contribute to the weekly physical activity of our students by offering a course in Physical Education and Physical Culture. Students can earn 2 credits by completing this course.

Frequently asked questions

Who must take the course?
The course must be taken by ALL first- and second-year undergraduate students of Medicine and Health Sciences (except Recreation and Lifestyle Bachelor). Course enrollment is recommended based on the curricular grid.

Why is there a limit on the number of students on a course?
A limit on the number of participants is necessary because the capacity of the venues is limited. In addition, to ensure that the trainers can do a quality job, we must keep the number of participants limited.
