Aim

To get acquainted with different kinds of sport disciplines organised in the facilities of the University of Jyväskylä and the City of Jyväskylä. These optional courses are for all students of the University of Jyväskylä.

Completion mode

A student needs to participate in 15 classes (90 minutes each, 22.5 hours in total). A student can choose from different sport disciplines according to his/her schedule and preferences from the selection offered in the YLIY programme during each term (autumn / spring). During summer term we are not offering YLIY classes and a student can get one or two stamps from our summer courses for the blue participation card. The student can take one sport discipline maximum of two times. At least one of the sessions needs to be a lecture, maximum number of lectures included is two. The lecture can also be compensated by writing a two page learning diary of the other YLIY classes. In the diary the student should give critical evaluation and feedback of the course. The learning diary is returned by e-mail to the korkeakoululiikunta@jyu.fi address. The student can complete only one YLIY course per term, but a course can also be completed during a longer period of time than one term. YLIY010 sport course must be done before starting YLIY011 sport course.   

The course is free of charge. You don´t need to have a sports sticker.
