Sports for Students
At Sorbonne University Abu Dhabi, sports are not just extracurricular activities they are integral to the overall academic and personal development of our students. As part of our commitment to fostering a balanced and healthy lifestyle, we offer sports as an option within the curriculum, allowing students to earn academic credits while participating in physical activities.
How It Works.
The Sport as an Option program gives students the flexibility to integrate regular physical activity into their academic schedule. Students can choose from a wide range of sports, fitness classes, and wellness activities, with each option designed to accommodate different skill levels and interests. Participation in these sports activities not only contributes to physical well-being but also supports personal growth, discipline, and teamwork.
Credit and Assessment.
Students who enroll in the Sport as an Option program can earn academic credits toward their degree. Assessment is based on regular participation, skill progression, and personal development throughout the semester. Additionally, some courses may offer bonus points for extra involvement in competitions or additional training sessions. Attendance, engagement, and commitment are key components of evaluation, with clear guidelines set for absences and sick leave.
Integration with Academic Life .
Sports as an option provides a unique opportunity to combine academic studies with physical development, enhancing students’ overall university experience. The program encourages time management, leadership, and collaboration—valuable skills that complement academic learning.
Support.
The Sport as an Option program is open to all students, including those with specific needs or disabilities. With regular inclusion sessions in partnership with the Rab3i Association, we ensure that all students have access to physical activity in a supportive and inclusive environment.
Leisure and Self-Training.
At Sorbonne University Abu Dhabi, we believe in promoting an active lifestyle not only through structured programs but also by offering opportunities for leisure and self-training. Our goal is to provide students, staff, and community members with the freedom and flexibility to engage in sports and fitness activities at their own pace. For those who prefer recreational sports, SUAD offers a wide range of options that allow for casual participation and enjoyment.
Whether you’re looking to push your sports performance to the next level or simply stay active, relax and enjoy a quiet session in the gym, our leisure and self-training options provide the balance you need between academics and personal well-being.
