In the last years, the higher education system has been exposed to novelty by the diversification of teaching methods in physical education lessons and the implementation of a complex process of developing a new view on the curriculum. At the Politehnica University of Bucharest, educational activities must be part ofeach student’s life and properly develop their psychomotor skills by improving their fitness level and wellbeing. The purpose of the study was to find out the opinions of students from the Politehnica University of Bucharest on both the physical education lesson and the ways of practising physical activities, which represents a modernvision of designing the lesson. The research was conducted on a sample of 741 students from the Politehnica University of Bucharest, of whom 322 female students and 419 male students. The study was carried out in two stages; first, between the 4th and 15th of November 2019, when students had to fill out a closed-endedquestionnaire, and second, between the 18th and 22nd of November 2019, when the data were collected and processed. The results obtained from the assessment and interpretation of data represent a useful tool for designing and improving the new curriculum structure and, in order to also meet the demands of students, forintroducing the multisport-type of physical education lesson and competitions in the first two years of study.
