Physical Education - General Information

Dear Students,

As you probably already know, Physical Education (P.E.) is a criterion subject netting 2 credit points. Two semesters of P.E. courses are mandatory to complete during your studies for bachelor and med-school student.

The conditions to gain the signature for P.E. are as follows:

★ STEP 1 - Sign up for a P.E. course in Neptun.

★ STEP 2 - On the orientation week (September 9-13, 2024) you will get all of the specific info (appropriate sportswear, equipment, make up lessons etc.) about your chosen P.E. course from the instructor. Be there on time for your own sake!

★ STEP 3 - In order to obtain a signature, students should actively participate for at least 12 occasions out of the 14 weeks of the education period.

FAQ

1. I AM A FIRST YEAR STUDENT

Q: As a first-year student do I have to complete the two P.E. courses in the very first and second semester of my studies, or can I complete them in later semesters?

A: No, you don’t have to complete them in the first two semesters of your studies, but it is recommended to do so.

2. EXTENDING THE NUMBER OF FREE PLACES

Q: What do I do if a P.E. course is full, but I wish to register for it? Is there any possibility to extend the number of fee places?

However, we are happy to offer our free recreational sports events (for example: https://www.facebook.com/groups/176229355139369/).
