Department of Physical Education and Sports Teaching

Hello, my name is Tunay Şimşek and I am a student at the Faculty of Sport Sciences at Erzurum Technical University. The Department of Physical Education and Sports has been established to raise good teachers, good athletes and better sports fans. We take courses such as Educational Philosophy, Educational Psychology, Team Sports, Gymnastics and Football in the department. We have Computer Laboratory which can be used in our department. There is also a multi-purpose hall, a gym, a football astro pitch, a tennis court and a basketball court. The Ministry of National Education and our school work in cooperation. In the final year, we are going to different schools for internship for the teaching practice course. When you graduate from this department you have various job opportunities in the public and private sector. We can also work as coaches and physical education teachers. Erzurum is the center for winter sports. I'm a Speed Skating National Sportsman. I chose this university because of the importance that Erzurum Technical University gives to sports and sportsmen. In this department, I mostly benefited from the communication with our academic staff and the sports activities we undertook. My biggest dream is to be a physical education teacher after graduation and also to be an ice skating coach in the National Team. My advice to friends intending to choose this department and this university is definitely to come here and enjoy the winter sports. Me and my friends we will be very happy to see you among us.
