Additional information about price
The Master’s Degree in Physical Activity and Sports Science Research aims to round out the learning of students who wish to orient their professional future towards research and its later practical application in scientific fields linked to physical activity and sports science. The training will provide a response to the demands arising from sociocultural and economic transformations at local and global level, which require support with a comprehensive perspective.
At present, there is ongoing focus on physical activity and sports science. Factors such as the impact of stress, a sedentary lifestyle or the increase in illnesses linked to a lack of physical activity require a change in how physical activity is addressed at school age, as well as interventions related to physical activity in society. The best way to provide value added for society is through highly qualified professionals who, thanks to applied research in physical activity and sports science, are able to generate further scientific knowledge and, thus, improve practice and policy linked to physical activity and sport.
Collaboration between similar knowledge areas involved in this programme will create synergies that are able to widen the perspective of all professionals, when it comes to dealing with the many complex situations in the world of physical activity and sports science. A master’s programme in this knowledge area has huge social importance as it enables research results to be incorporated into the educational, social and business spheres. The programme will complement and be a specific entry pathway for the area of research into physical education on the university’s PhD in Education programme.
What career opportunities will you have?
After being awarded the official Master’s Degree in Physical Activity and Sports Science Research, students may apply for PhD programmes.
In turn, they may also join the job market, specialising in the field of research.
High-quality official study
Legislation requires that official Spanish degree programmes receive a positive assessment from the National Agency for Quality Assessment and Accreditation (ANECA, by its Spanish acronym). This process is known as verification, and it serves to ensure that education programmes are properly designed to provide the competencies and reach the learning goals around which the programmes are built. In the results you can find reports on official study programmes.
