To maintain the level of intellectual achievements and endure daily pressure, it is necessary to have ample opportunity for recreation and regeneration. The main goal is to make room for sports and physical exercise in people’s lives so that they can be an integral part of their lifestyle later.
Leisure time sporting activities
Sporting life at the University is coordinated by the UP Sports Office and TTK Sport Centre University of Pécs, which offer a wide range of sporting opportunities to the students and staff. Both units organise various programmes that are attractive and accessible to everybody, irrespective of age, faculty or past training, which is a wonderful opportunity for recreation and regeneration.
You can apply (online) for weekly sports events at website of the UP Sports Office. If you want to register for the courses at the beginning of each semester at the NEPTUN (except: Dancing University). Since these courses are compulsory for Hungarian students, tutors take attendance seriously, so you are also kindly advised to attend courses regularly. You should bring clothes and shoes that are characteristic for the sport you have chosen. All the necessary equipment (racquets, tennis balls, etc.) will be available on the spot.
