Science, Sport and Performance
Preparing physical education teachers, coaches and sport science specialists — pairing the scientific study of human movement with sustained practical training.
College of Physical Education & Sports
The College of Physical Education and Sport Sciences at Al-Farabi University is among the developed and well-established colleges of physical education in Iraq — a major sporting institution that will graduate hundreds of academics, coaches and specialists in the field of physical education.
The college was founded in the 2025–2026 academic year. That first step was the assembly of a specialist team — teaching staff and administrators capable of running the college and carrying out its work in a way that ensures its objectives are met.
Graduates are awarded a bachelor’s degree in physical education. They are appointed as teachers on the secondary-school cadre, or work as specialists in sports training.
