Sports at Algebra University College

It is a well-known scientific fact that lack of physical activity will endanger human health. Insufficient physical activity and reduced stimulation of the musculoskeletal system adversely reflect the normal function of all organs.

Lack of exercise is the fourth leading cause of death in the world, and people who participate in sports are less likely to suffer from various diseases.

The university strives to improve the quality of life and health of its students. In recent years, one of Algebra’s most important goals is to make physical education a compulsory first-year course for all undergraduate courses. The most important goals of the course:

  • Establish a healthy lifestyle to maintain and improve health;
  • Meet the basic human needs for sports, entertainment, and social interaction,
  • Develop positive attitudes and habits in exercise and regular exercise,
  • Prepare students for independent physical exercise throughout their lives.

In addition to the exercises planned in the physical education class, our students can also participate in organized sports activities and can also participate in Zagreb University Sports Federation competitions.

All courses require additional training time, as well as expert guidance and supervision, in order to best prepare for the competition.

To improve the quality and attractiveness of education, Algebra organizes and supports students to leave school to participate in international university competitions, such as Elektrijada, Tehnologijada, Universiade, etc.

Sports and science competitions allow students to participate in valuable connections, exchange experiences with students from other colleges and universities, and have fun.

The head of Algebra Sports is responsible for organizing, implementing, and supervising our sports and entertainment activities.
