Departments are basic organizational units at our Faculty which determine and perform scientific, teaching and professional activities. The activities of each individual department include several related scientific and teaching disciplines at the Faculty of Kinesiology. The internal organization of our Faculty consists out of three departments, each of which consists out of smaller organizational units, i.e. chairs.
