Sport is a three-year, full-time bachelor’s programme with a practical profile, taught in English at the Gdańsk University of Physical Education and Sport (AWFiS). It is meant for people who want to combine their own sports career with a broader understanding of sport – from the training process to the way the sport market works.
At the heart of the programme is the theory and practice of training in a sport you select. You learn current training trends and gain the practical knowledge and skills needed to plan and run training. Classes are led by coaches with many years of experience at different levels of competition, as well as by researchers who work on questions that matter to sport and publish in peer-reviewed international journals.
Alongside training, the curriculum covers the basics of entrepreneurship, management and marketing in sport. The aim is that you leave AWFiS able to find your way around the sport market and understand its main functions and dependencies.
The programme is shaped by the specialisations you choose during your studies:
