As explained by Plácido Bazo, from day one, which was yesterday, the college has the faculty, classes, and materials needed to start classes.

“This has been a very strong commitment by the college and the University of La Laguna, whose dean, Rosa Aguilar Chiña, has decisively supported this initiative,” Bazo explains, adding, “I, as dean, worked my ass off” to be able to deliver this degree.

One of the obstacles that prevented the project from becoming a reality for nearly fifteen years was that at the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (ULPGC) there was already a degree in Physical Activity and Sports Science.

According to Plácido Bazo, it was a matter of adapting the Faculty of Education of La Laguna to the needs that arise from social reality, since the population is increasingly demanding sports and any kind of physical activity. Bazo stressed that the new degree would produce “professionals of great importance, because this is what the Canarian community needs”.

The study plan includes basic topics and then other specific topics, including anatomy, psychology of sports activity, human physiology, theory and practice of motor games, in addition to everything related to the pedagogy of physical activity and sports.

The new undergraduate course lasts four years, and takes place over two semesters per year. To obtain the degree, each student must obtain 240 training units.
