The Proposed Hellenic University of Africa

Our university is planned to specialise solely and unequivocally in the academic and practical study of every aspect of sport without exception. This includes the organisation and practical implementation of every aspect of the Olympic games and every other worldwide universal sports competition and sports medicine in it’s entirety.

Thus, we will be offering Bachelors and Masters degrees and Doctorates in Sports Science and Management.

Our aim is to make Zimbabwe the flourishing center for Africa and Internationally in the study of sport and sportsmanship.

Thus, the values, ethos, rules and professional practice in every sporting discipline will be covered. This wide sporting spectrum and study in Higher Education will therefore, comprise not only academic learning, but every aspect of physical fitness, well-being, training, the physiology and psychology of sport and sports medicine, as well as the infrastructure required for every different type of sport.

Accordingly, the university will teach every aspect of sports medicine including access to the latest AI driven robotics for injury rehabilitation.

The ethos of the university will include the precepts so eloquently described by the ancient Greeks when they created the Olympic movement and the Olympic Truce. This ethos and it’s educational principles have also been described by Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of modern Olympic games, and by Nelson Mandela, by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the International Olympic Academy (IOC).

Africa’s turn will inevitably come to hold the Olympic games. Then and in the interim, our graduates will be ready and well able professionally to implement the vast variety of skills and know how necessary to organise, sponsor and apply the plethora of different rules applicable to each sporting discipline – even in so far as concerns the design of sports fields, athletic tracks, pitches and stadia and other sports infrastructure.

Thus, we aim to become a world recognised and internationally accepted institution of higher learning for sports qualifications, skills and professional specialists in every aspect of sports.
