Training Specialisations are a specialisation within the Sport programme (master’s) at the Gdańsk University of Physical Education and Sport (AWFiS), a two-year, full-time course with a practical profile, taught in English. They are for coaches and athletes who want to go deeper into one Olympic discipline and work in a professional coaching team.
On the master’s Sport programme you take one coaching specialisation in an Olympic sport – the alternative is two instructor or other specialisations. Choosing the coaching route means concentrating your two years on a single discipline and on the way a training process is programmed, organised and carried out at a higher level.
Classes are taught by researchers and specialists as well as by coaches of Olympic and national teams and accomplished athletes, so the methods you learn come from people who use them in real competition.
At master’s level coaching specialisations are offered in:
AWFiS campus in Gdańsk Oliwa
You graduate with a coach’s diploma in your discipline and the professional title of magister (Master of Arts) in sport, after two years of full-time study.
The programme prepares you to be a member of a coaching or specialist staff, responsible for planning and leading the training process in your discipline. It also prepares graduates to manage sports clubs and organisations – a natural next step for coaches who want to shape the sporting direction of a whole club as well as the work of their own group.
