The Department of Coaching Education was founded in 2013 as part of the School of Physical Education and Sports. The program is credit-based and meets requirements set by the Bologna Process. Students must complete 240 European Credit Transfer System credits (155 credit hours), of which 120 cover theory, and 111 cover practice. Students earn 26-28 academic hours per week. The program covers five basic disciplines: humanities and economics; mathematics and science; general professional training; specialized disciplines; and disciplines related to specializiations.
The program was designed to meet educational requirements in Turkey and Kyrgyzstan for this type of program.
The main goal of the Faculty of Sports Sciences of Kyrgyz-Turkish Manas University is to prepare highly-qualified teachers with a scientific background in the area of physical education and sports. Knowledge of physiology and sports has grown along side the growth of technology, as science is better able to meet the physical, intellectual, emotional and social growth of people. In order to ensure the development of physical culture and sports and ensure the field's place in today's rapidly changing work, we need to train a generation of professionals ready to carry out research and development. A speciallly-developed program is used at our Department to ensure that physical education teachers are sufficiently knowledgeable about physiology and can meet the needs of our rapidly-developing society and technology. The Department of Physical Education has set itself the goal of becoming a department that graduates students with knowledge about sports, research, cooperation, pedagogy, and leadership.
The Department of Physical Education offers internships in schools for 6-7 hours each week for students to gain experience as teachers. The Department also organizes various competitions both within the university and beyond. Students are also encouraged to participate in athletic competitions.
Students must also complete compulsory internships at summer camps and sports clubs.
Students are also required to spend 6-8 hours a week training in their chosen sport and attending training courses.
At the Sports and Fitness Center, students hold training classes for academic and administrative staff, as well as for students, which allows them to gain experience leading courses.
