PHYSICAL EDUCATION Campus

Semmelweis University

With 152 Olympic champions Hungary has a potential for training and education. The Faculty of Physical Education and Sport Sciences (called TF in Hungarian) which is now part of the Semmelweis University is one of the two officially sponsored European training sites of the International Olympic Committee.

TF is the only Hungarian higher educational institution specialized in sport sciences and it has more than 75 years of experience and excellence. It was founded as an independent institution. Due to the reorganization of Hungarian higher education in 2000 the Hungarian University of Physical Education was merged with the Semmelweis Medical University.

The Campus of the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport Sciences is located in the central Buda side of the capital.

Adjacent to the PE campus you can find the central Sport Hospital in Hungary.
Parallel to the Hungarian programs the Faculty offers accredited degree programs in English giving the opportunity to international students to study and complete their studies in an international environment. The first program, which was introduced in English, was the Physical Education Program in 1993 that was followed three years later by Human Kinesiology.
