Sport at SKEMA
SKEMA integrates sports into its programmes to develop team spirit, personal balance, and performance while offering comprehensive support to students, including professional athletes.
Sport at SKEMA: A pillar of excellence and personal development
At SKEMA Business School, sport and sportsmanship are integral to our students' education and personal growth. Playing sports at an individual or competitive level fosters team spirit, commitment, and a healthy life balance. Our students regularly compete in top-tier university tournaments, supported by experienced professors who bring high-level expertise and provide holistic physical and mental coaching. This well-rounded approach is deeply embedded in SKEMA's DNA.
Sport: a training tool
Sport at SKEMA is considered a training tool, which is why we offer sports courses in all programmes, with the teaching content structured around two themes:
- Sport and personal development.
- Sport and team performance.
These optional courses can be assessed and credited at the student's discretion through a system that recognises student commitment (additional ECTS credits or a bonus on the average grade for a credit unit (UV)).
The cross-disciplinary organisation of sport across the various programmes reinforces its strong contribution to the development of psychosocial skills, particularly those focused on gender equality and diversity.
Students can choose to participate in competitive or recreational activities.
Physical and sporting activities developed in our courses are a fundamental part of strengthening our students' physical and mental health and well-being. This focus is one of the cornerstones of the course content, and we provide a wealth of knowledge on topics such as nutrition, hydration, physical fitness and sleep to promote our students' health.
