The most useful would be for human’s health, if physical and mental work were combined in its activities.

For decades, it has been a good tradition in ONEU to hold an annual sports event between the faculties.

Applicants enrolling in the university are more likely to adjust to the educational activities and public activities of the faculty, and the main goal of the sports sector is to diversify the student’s life by participating in sports and recreational activities. There are many different sports sections in our university and, in addition to basic physical education classes, students have the opportunity to engage in professional sports such as volleyball, basketball, athletics, and more.

Our university has a lot of athlete students who have high achievements in various sports and which improve the results of ONEU in competitions between the universities of Odessa, in Ukrainian and international competitions.

The annual sports events include the following sports:

• football;
• volleyball,
• basketball;
• chess;
• ping-pong;
• badminton;
• shooting;
• athletics and others.

According to the results of all competitions, the Champions of the Spartakiades is determined, and every year in December a ceremony of rewarding the winners of the Spartakiades for each type of competition is held.

The sports sector closely cooperates with the teachers of the Physical Education Department, helping them organize various sports events and competitions. Each faculty has heads of the sports sector, which coordinate the athletes. It is mandatory to hold a traditional team meeting before the start of the sporting event, so that each student has the opportunity to defend the honor of his faculty. The sports sector gives you the opportunity to take care of yourself and your health and develop the cohesion of students.

The ONEU sports complex is located in the second building located at 18, Gogol Street. There is our main sports hall, which is designed for many types of competitions and physical education classes, a free gym that can be visited by any student. Also, physical education classes take place at the “Krajan” stadium where you can improve your athletic ability.

In the first place the sports sector is created in order to improve student cohesion, improve physical fitness, teamwork and bright time in our university!

ONEU Humor and art performance Club

The proud of ONEU has always been Humor and art performance teams, that are distinguished by their mood, musicality and the taste of jokes. At present, there are 2 main Humor and art performance teams presenting our university at various city and regional competitions.

Amature art activity in ONEU

Every year in Odessa National Economic University there are more and more initiative and creative students who identify and develop their talent within our university, as well as protect the honor of the University at city and regional competitions. It is worth noting that amateur art in our university is developed at a very high level in comparison with other universities in Odessa, which can be persuaded by all those who like to visit our concerts.

There are a lot of different activities in ONEU, among which there are three main ones: “Student’s Autumn”, “Miss ONEU” and “Student’s Spring”. And this is just a small part of everything that’s happening here.

During the year there are such holidays, which we want to note in the circle of loved ones – Student’s Day, New Year, March 8, May 9 and birthdays of faculties. Such days everyone wants to have fun and remember them for a long time.

There is another very enchanting event – “Favorit” the annual awarding ceremony. It’s like the Oscars, when students and teachers watch a concert program, prepared by students, and later receive awards for their achievements. Thus, the best performances are determined, the cups for the title of the best teacher, the professor, the student’s dean and many others are presented. And of course, the best faculty of the year is determined on the basis of all the awards.

You will have bright and memorable student life at our University!
