Higher sports training
The Catalan capital has become a place where high levels are found in every field of sport. And we are not just talking about top-ranking active sportsmen and women, but also about all the people who manage and run sports associations and clubs, such as the professionals who make the quality of Catalan sports even higher.
Several institutions and schools offer intermediate and higher vocational education and training in physical and sports activities, such as courses on running and encouraging physical and sports activities, as well as others based on a specific sport, in addition to Master's degrees and doctorates.
