The teaching diploma program aims to prepare physical education teachers at different school levels. This program covers different teaching sciences such as didactics, teaching methods and evaluation, and psychology. In addition to passing all theoretical courses, students must fulfill 160 hours of internship, followed by a project to obtain their diploma.
