What Our Alumni Say

“The M.Sc. added credits to my profile and contributed to my appointment in the public sector.”

Theodoros Tartaris

Ergotherapist in Secondary Education (Special Vocational Education & Training School of Mystras), Sparta
Graduation Year: 2014

"I deliberately chose this specific Master's program over other options. Apart from the highly engaging coursework, the program helped me gain a deeper understanding of the various dimensions of sports and sports participation—concepts I actively teach through physical education. In the context of mountain tourism and skiing, it helped me become a more well-rounded coach and instructor, enhancing the services I provide to the members of the ski club where I work seasonally. The knowledge I have acquired continues to benefit my career, making me a more complete professional and individual."

Vaios Kiriakis

Physical Education Teacher, Ministry of Education | Ski Coach, Hellenic Alpine Club of Acharnes | Spata, Graduation Year: 2013

"My postgraduate studies, Sparta, the School, the professors, my fellow students. A unique experience. I remain proud to have been part of the very first graduating class. Thank you all.”

Athina Zerva

Permanent Physical Education Teacher in Secondary Education; Seconded Federal Coach for the National Deaf Women’s Basketball Team (2011–2023) at the Hellenic Sports Federation for the Deaf; Seconded Basketball Coach at the Hellenic Basketball Federation (2023–2024), Athens
Graduation Year: 2011

“The reason I chose this specific postgraduate program was to improve my knowledge in the organization and management of the sports club where I am active as a coach and sports event coordinator. I was also interested in developing and promoting the club's work at a marketing level. I believe I gained significant knowledge and, above all, the sparks for a fresh perspective on things in the field.”

Giorgos Karanastasis

Physical Education Teacher at 15th Primary School of Chalcis (Seconded to the Primary School of Wuppertal, Germany)

Fotios Maragkos

Konstantinos Kotsis

Graduation Year: 2022

"Although I had extensive experience in the field (on the pitch), the Master's program provided me with the theoretical knowledge and the opportunity to understand the full spectrum of the discipline (i.e., organization, management, marketing, finance, facilities, etc.). Ultimately, combining my practical experience with the theoretical training I acquired through the program has made me a highly specialized professional for any position—outside of the technical staff—within the football industry."
