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 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.
