Why offer for-credit athletics courses ?
At Dauphine, we believe that Sport like arts & culture are essential to a well-rounded university life; they are a source of equilibrium, encourage community spirit and teamwork and contribute to personal development. We believe that sports, arts & culture should be an integral part of the university curriculum.
In keeping with those precepts, we offer for-credit athletics courses to all students from Bachelor’s through PhD.
Our for-credit athletics program:
- Offers practical, physical and theoretical training in exchange for significant E.C.T.S. credits in a wide range of disciplines
- Recognizes the skills of students who are top-level athletes and gives them the opportunity to use those skills and earn credits while competing in F.F.S.U. (the French Federation of University Sports) competitions.
Who may take for-credit athletics ?
For-credit athletics courses are open to all Bachelors 1, 2 and 3 and Masters 1 & 2Students provided that:
- They are capable of taking part in a physical activity
- That the athletic course or courses they wish to take are compatible with their academic schedule.
How many credits do you earn ?
All students are required to take elective courses. The requirement varies according to your degree program (LSO, MSO, MIDO). For-credit athletics classes are elective courses that count as such.In general, a one-semester for-credit athletic course earns 2 ECTS credits.
For precise elective requirements, check with your academic department.
