Bule Hora University since its establishment in the country as a higher learning institution in 2004 E.C., has had a Department of Sport Science, one of the Departments in Bule Hora University under the Natural and Computational Sciences College, which was established in July, 2010 G.C. The Department of Sport Science is providing the physical fitness course as a common course for all departments for highly qualified intellectual individuals with the concepts of equipping them to be mentally alert, physically strong, prevent hypo-kinetic disease, and be socially responsible individuals. In July, 2010 G.C., the Department started working by taking 50 students assigned to the College of Natural Science with two MSc holders in Sport Science, offering an Undergraduate Bachelor of Sport Science with regular and summer programs. The extensive and rigorous use of scientific principles of the 21st century modern concepts of Sport Sciences disciplines and the Educational Policy of the Country as a whole has made the Department take the initiative in proposing a new postgraduate program of master of science in sport science in football coaching and master of science in sport science (sports and exercise therapy).
Therefore, as of this Academic year, we have already launched a M.Sc. program in the above-mentioned field of sport science.
