National University of Physical Education and Sport Bucharest

The Faculty of Physical Education and Sports (FEFS) has been carrying out its activity for about 9 decades (since 1922) and this one has always been integrated into the very structure of the National University of Physical Education and Sports.
The physical education importance led to the “People‘s Culture House” foundation, in 1921, under the aegis of Prince Charles. Through this, it was stipulated the physical education practicing in the Romanian towns and villages. By then, the physical education and sports issues were popularized through the “Energy Source” journal, created in 1921.
The need for specialists organizing, coordinating, leading and training determined the foundation, in 1922, of the National Office of Physical Education, within which the National Institute of Physical Education came into being.
To start its activity, the National Institute of Physical Education recruited a highly skilled teaching staff made up of Romanians, but also of guests from Sweden, Germany, the United States, France and Japan, by providing thus an international level training.
The first class of physical education teachers graduated in 1926 and many of them were to become outstanding personalities in the field.
Then, throughout the years, great athletes, Honored Masters of Sports, managers and top business men in different areas, persons with responsible positions, institution executives in our domain and not only, authentic ambassadors of our contemporary Romania, studied or improved their training at the National Institute of Physical Education.
Among them, we mention Ivan Pazaichin, Nadia Comaneci, Ion Tiriac, Iolanda Balas, Laura Badea, Dan Grecu, Octavian Bellu, Violeta Beclea-Szekelly, Cristian Topescu, Marius Urzica, Ionut Lupescu, Gabriela Szabo, Marian Dragulescu, Mihai Constantinescu.
The National Institute of Physical Education gradually created specializations in different practical disciplines, organized doctoral studies and founded the Scientific Research Institute for investigations in the field.
After the events of December 1989, the National Institute of Physical Education and Sports regains its previous 4-year study duration, its academic title and position, being currently named the “National University of Physical Education and Sports”, with its headquarters in Bucharest, 140 Constantin Noica Street, sector 6.
Changes have particularly been focused on: educational offer, specializations, study forms, curricula, analytic syllabuses, education and learning quality, our own facilities and training centers, teaching staff, the scientific research high quality, our opening to the European academic community and not only, through partnerships, scientific and cultural exchanges, common projects.
