Sport
Located in the surrounding area close to the Ria Formosa Natural Park and integrated in a privileged space for sports, the University of the Algarve offers a set of sports activities aimed at promoting health and well-being. See on this page some of the activities and services available to the academic community.
Playing sports not only promotes physical well-being, but also psychological. In this sense, the Sports Office of the Academic Association of the University of Algarve provides classes for the entire academic community and for the general public.
Know some of our programs:
"We want you to be active, we want you to be healthy, we want you to be happy"
This is the motto on which the entire organization of the Sports Office of the Academic Association of the University of Algarve is based. With annual dynamism, the activities are aimed at providing the whole academic community with the practice of different physical and sports modalities, in different contexts.
In promoting an active and healthy life, the Sports Office organizes an annual program of physical and sports activities called “Faz Esporte” for the entire academic community. This program is based on 4 different areas: external competition (competitions within the scope of the Academic Federation of University Sports ), internal competition (rector trophies), group classes and events.
Students who are part of AAUAlg teams or who participate in individual tests can achieve UAlg Student / Athlete Status and if they have an excellent result, the UAlg Sports Merit Scholarship.
