Welcome
Mens sana in Corpore Sano
The Vrije Universiteit Brussel attaches great importance
to healthy physical development as
well as the possibility of social integration
through sport. "A healthy
spirit in a healthy body" is not an
empty slogan for the Vrije Universiteit Brussel !
With the sport programme or the courses in different sports disciplines, everyone gets the chance to enjoy themselves, and most activities are supervised in a pleasant yet expert way.
The choice of sport on offer at the Vrije Universiteit has changed somewhat this academic year. It can now be divided into 3 main components: free sport, courses and club sport.
Free Sport
Not everyone has time to take part in club training or sports lessons every week. For these "occasional" sports fans we have created the free sport programme. The free sport programme consists of a number of sports disciplines for which you don't need any real technical knowledge or experience. These are sports that you can start at any time. For 26 weeks of the academic year we make the hall and equipment available to these sport cardholders.
Apart from this sport programme you can also make use of the VUB swimming pool and the renovated athletics track.
Courses
If you want to learn a totally new sport or refine your technique under expert supervision, then there are special courses on offer for you throughout the academic year. If you're interested, enrol in advance at the Sports Department. Each course consists of 10 consecutive lessons and is supervised by professional and experienced teachers.
Clubsport
If you really want to concentrate on one specific sport, then you can join one of the many sports clubs via the Sports Department and come and do weekly training sessions throughout the academic year with us.
