Sports and physical education is for students who enjoy physical activity, sports and outdoor life. You get to try different sports, games and activities, while developing physical, athletic and social skills. The programme emphasises versatility, goal-oriented training, cooperation, fair play and a sense of achievement. You also learn about health, basic training and how nature can be used for positive and sustainable outdoor experiences. Sports and physical education provides a solid foundation for further studies and careers where the body, health, activity and working with people are central.

Relevant workplaces
The Armed Forces and the Norwegian Police University College have minimum physical requirements. If you take sports and physical education you will have a good basis for taking physical tests.
Some studies require you to have certain science subjects. Examples of such studies are engineering, science and medical studies. You will find the admission requirements for university colleges and universities at samordnaopptak.no. In some education programmes it may be difficult to find room on the timetable to choose all the sciences you need. If you take specialization in general studies with natural science and mathematics at Vg2 and Vg3 you stand the best chance of being able to take the sciences you need.
