Description

Content

The sports course comprises 15 trial sessions and lectures related to health, well-being and physical exercise. The types of sports differ slightly depending on the term and academic year. The aim is that the student is able to try different outdoor and indoor sports activities. 

Completion modes

The course comprises 15 sessions of 1.5 hours each (one course = 22.5 hours). Students can select the completion times according to their personal schedules and preferences from the Academic Sports selection for the sports course. The selection includes about 20 different classes. You can complete only one YLIY sports course during a semester. You can use several academic years to complete the course.

You can attend the same sport maximum of two times. One or two of the sessions must be lectures. A lecture can be compensated by writing a learning log (about 2 pages) of the sessions in which you have participated.

To complete the course, the student needs a blue card in which the date and each sport session is marked, i.e. 19.9.2025 Baseball. The instructor marks the attendance in the blue card.
