The Core Studies concern the first four semesters (1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th) including core courses providing knowledge relevant to the themes of sport science, with the aim of offering students the theoretical background and expertise, via practice essential to move to the next stage of their studies.
The Concentration Studies extend in the last four semesters (5th, 6th, 7th and 8th). All students choose a concentration offered by the program of study and attend the relevant courses. In the context of this concentration, students choose an additional specialisation and attend the required courses. They acquire specialised knowledge, practical experience and skills required for the Concentration and specialisation of their choice. At the same time, students have the chance to considerably develop their analytical and research potential and keep in touch with the advances in the field of their specialization.
The Areas of Concentration provided by the New Undergraduate Program of study are three:

  1. Sports Training Theory and Application
  2. Sport Recreation & Dance
  3. Exercise for Special Populations
