Erasmus +
National University of Ukraine on Physical Education and Sport (hereinafter NUUPES) always maintained and continues to maintain the tradition, focusing on a healthy lifestyle and creation a professional training center in Ukraine. All year university fully support reputation of European higher education. There were representatives of European and world science, prominent scientists and founders of known scientific schools and directions. Many university students and graduates were Olympic champions and winners of the Olympic Games, winners of World and European championships in various kinds of sport. The traditions of the past continue today. Now in our university are over three thousand students, preparing them more than fifty doctors and professors and more than a hundred PhDs and assistant professors. Since 2016 successfully implemented the project of students and scientific and educational mobility of the Latvian Academy of Sports Education on EU funds under Erasmus +.
Since 1994, the first department in Ukraine has started in NUUPES to train specialists in physical rehabilitation. In 2016, in connection with the changes in the legislation regulating the training of specialists in higher educational institutions of Ukraine, the vector of development of the specialty has changed: from this time the department trains physical therapists and occupational therapists, and for two years it is the leader among similar departments in Ukraine by the number of students. In recent years, the university opened popular specialization "Physical rehabilitation in sports higher achievements" and "Sports nutrition" at the educational level "Master". In addition, together with the Kiev Medical University study 10 students specialized in sports medicine. We plan to expand map such partnerships to provide students of National University of Ukraine on Physical Education and Sport maximum opportunities for development in the areas that they consider interesting and useful in their future careers.
The new Erasmus+ programme aims to support actions in the fields of Education, Training, Youth and Sport for the period 2014-2020.
