Sports Certificate Courses

Since 1999, the University Sport Institute (USI) of the University of Vienna has been offering continuing education and training courses. Experience gained over the last 16 years tells us that many students have great interest in the diverse education and training courses offered by the USI. Many students and academics use the continuing education and training courses at the USI to establish a second professional foothold or gain practical experience for their future professions.

In close cooperation with the University of Vienna’s Postgraduate Center, the USI now offers seven certificate courses. Depending on their special focus, the courses are targeted at degree programme students at all universities and universities of applied sciences, academics as well as people with a university entrance qualification.
