It is also possible to work together with departments in the Faculties of Humanities and Social Sciences, Business Administration and Management Sciences related to different disciplines such as Sports Economics and Sports Psychology.

The program aims at the rapid dissemination of physical education and sport, which is essential for continuous human health, in our society and is supported by government policies.
