The aim of the present study was to verify the knowledge of undergraduate students in physical education about the concept of bullying. The sample consisted of 191 students. We used a structured interview, which was recorded and later transcribed. The statistics used were the chi-square test, the odds ratio (OR) and confidence interval (CI). The results showed that the physical education undergraduate students who participated in this study, partially know the concept of bullying [χ² (2) = 237,25; p <0.001]. The subjects did not present or incompletely presented the units that characterize the phenomenon. Thus, it is suggested that undergraduate physical education courses should broaden discussions and studies about bullying.
