Located on La Garde campus, the Faculty of Physical Education and Sports Studies offers Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Doctorate’s Degrees which give students to career opportunities in education, athletic training, coaching, sport and leisure activities, health, safety, sports management, or scientific research.

The Bachelor’s degree aims to develop interdisciplinary technical, institutional, and scientific knowledge in Physical and Sports Education. The Faculty also places a lot of emphasis on workforce integration. Starting as early as the first year, students are required to do internships to help them progressively define their career goals. In the second year, students then receive introductory training to help them choose one of the following specialisations :

• Education and Motor Skills

• Adapted Physical Education and Health

With the learning process focused around sports, the faculty work closely with students, notably in facilitating the integration of 1st year students thanks to tutoring and study programmes.
