The School of Physical Education and Sport Science—established in 2013 and formerly the Department of Physical Education and Sport Science— is one of the two Schools of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (UoA) with one Department, the UoA being the oldest institution of higher learning in Greece as well as the Balkan peninsula and the Eastern Mediterranean region.
The School of Physical Education and Sport Science specializes in the study, research and teaching of all expressions of Movement of the Human Body through a holistic and in depth interdisciplinary program that includes the natural sciences, the social sciences and the humanities. The School includes faculty members recognized for their high quality research and publications. We take great pride in preparing students for careers as Physical Education teachers, gymnasts, coaches and sport scientists.
