This Master’s program is the first in Spain to be recognized by the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA). The curriculum is specially-designed to impart not only the theoretical and practical applications but also the methodological foundations necessary for independent research, allowing students to address the most controversial lines in Sports Science. Our teaching faculty is uniquely comprised of UCAM professors, as well as national and international experts in their respective fields. Students will receive a deeper understanding of the different areas in sport performance and conditioning and acquire the necessary training for proper performance in their professional and/or research careers in the field of High Performance Sport. The constant evolution and growing interest in Physical Activity and Sport Science makes this area of multidisciplinary expertise a high-demanding subject and of professional interest.
To be considered into the Master’s Degree program, students must have: a Bachelor’s Degree or equivalent at the University level, a background in Sport Sciences or equivalent, B1 level English.
