Branch programme/details

This field of study focuses on the comprehensive preparation of students in applied sports sciences. During their studies, students are introduced to the latest findings in biomechanics, physiology, nutrition, diagnostics and psychology, enabling them to understand and analyse various aspects of sports performance. The program also includes the fundamentals of research methodology in each sport, providing students with the tools to evaluate and design research studies critically. The program also emphasises developing soft skills such as teamwork and effective communication. In particular, graduates are prepared to pursue careers in applied research in sports where they can contribute to science-based development and innovation.

The applicant is required to attach to an Application form a letter of motivation and proof of qualifications (e.g. a legalized copy of documents certifying completion of secondary education in the case of a Bachelors program or a legalized copy of a Bachelor's diploma in the case of a follow-up Master's degree program), c/ curriculum vitae and a letter(s) of recommendation for study, d/ internationally recognized certificate proving the applicant's English language skills. All the documents have to be officially translated into Czech or English language.

Mandatory annexe to the application: Recommendation of the guarantor of the study program on the applicant's suitability for study.

In case the application is not correctly filled out, all required documents are not attached, or if the application fee was covered alongside the recognition fee payment (960 CZK), the Faculty will send out a Notice to eliminate shortcomings of the application or a Notice to pay an admission procedure fee within a time frame. The application process will be terminated if the deficiencies are not eliminated within the set period. The administrative fee will not be refunded.

Interview entrance exam - possibility of an online interview (Microsoft Teams)

1. Motivation letter – 0-5 points

2. Ability to answer questions in English 0-5 points
3. Discuss the topic of the bachelor's thesis and discuss the candidate's ideas about the focus of the diploma thesis. During the interview, basic knowledge of work methodology and critical evaluation of positives and shortcomings in work design or methodological procedure is verified - 0-10 points
4. Verification of basic knowledge from sports sciences (sports training, stress physiology, sports biomechanics, nutrition, sports psychology, etc.) about the intended topic of the thesis - 0-10 points
The total point gain is calculated as the average sum of points obtained from individual commission members and rounded to one decimal place.
If the applicant obtains an average of less than one point in any part of the oral entrance examination, he has failed the entrance examination and cannot be admitted.
In total, it is possible to get 0-30 points.

Admission to Master's studies is conditioned by completed secondary education confirmed by a school-leaving certificate. Admission to Post-Bachelor studies (Master's programme) is likewise conditioned by completed education in any type of study programme.

The graduate of study programme Applied Sport Sciences is a fully qualified expert in the field of sports sciences. He/she received complex knowledge and skills of a general and specific character in the current level of knowledge in sport sciences. The graduate is qualified to apply gained knowledge to the field of planning, organization, and evaluation of sports training and movement programs. The graduate knows diagnostic methods, understands basic principles in both qualitative and also quantitative research. The graduate is also able to present and explain the results of the research.
