The challenge that faces students in physical education in their future careers is to formulate an expert response to the huge needs of our society as far as physical movement is concerned. The objective of the training in physical education is therefore to become a professional in movement.

Physical education professionals maximize the movement potential of human beings to benefit their health. To do this they must fully understand the characteristics of movement and its effects and use them in education. They know their target audiences in terms of age and their motor, physiological, psychological or sociological features. They can organize, communicate and use their skills and knowledge appropriately. They are anxious to assess their practices and update them.

In the context of this one year study programme, students do not have the opportunity to specialize by taking optional subjects and focuses such as those available in the 120 credit Master programme.

Centred on physical and sports activities adapted for different groups, the practical training comprises physical and sports activities adapted for different age groups and training for sedentary adults. Students can also do advanced training in three sports of their choice (athletic training, team games, acrobatic sports, swimming, dance and expression).

the teaching takes different forms : lectures, practical courses in small groups, individual work and projects, placements;
training in biomedical science : sports pathology, prevention of illness through physical and sports activities;
training for research which, irrespective of the specialization that students choose, develops their skills in investigating a new subject in a scientific way and interpreting the results in scientific literature ;
a dissertation which gives students experience of a specialized field, either through bibliographic research or experimental work in or outside the laboratory as a result of close collaboration and a privileged learning relationship with their supervisor ;
training in human sciences : history, ethics, sports psychology.
In the context of this one year study programme, students do not have the opportunity to specialize by taking optional subjects and focuses such as those available in the 120 credit Master programme. They will not be awarded a teaching qualification and will not be able to teach.

The Master in Motor Skills: Physical Education is centred on learning and deepening knowledge and skills in various fields of application (human sciences, training for research,biomedical science and practical training). The teaching takes different forms: lectures, practical courses in small groups, individual work and projects and work placements.

By doing adissertation, students can specialize in a precise area, either through bibliographic research or experimental work in or outside the laboratory as a result of close collaboration and a privileged learning relationship with their supervisor.

The examinations are organized in three main sessions : in January, June and September.

For the theoretical courses, assessment is based on a written or oral examination and may be combined and/or replaced by elements of continuous assessment, particularly for assignments, projects, seminars and work placements.

For the practical training, there is continuous assessment which may be supplemented by a final assessment.

Students will be informed of the type of assessment to be used at the beginning of each course.

The Institute has a series of partnerships with European and North American universities under the ERASMUS and MERCATOR exchange schemes. This gives the Master in Motor Skills: Physical Education strong international links, enabling students to take courses for 30 credits in a partner university or for a semester.
