Presentation

The aim of the degree is to train professionals in coaching, leadership, physical and psychological preparation, as well as sports managers in the federal sector, sports associations, and local authorities. Students are required to work with all audiences (children, teenagers, adults, and seniors) and at all levels (beginners, recreational, advanced, and high-level athletes). The program includes a range of scientific and theoretical courses combined with applied and practical courses. A major sports option is offered to enable students to acquire recognized skills as trainers and sports coaches. Finally, particular emphasis is placed on theoretical and practical teaching related to physical training.

Due to limited capacity for this program, applications from high school graduates from the Montpellier Academy and those from high school students preparing for the French baccalaureate abroad will be given priority.

Regardless of the candidates' profiles, applications must be submitted via ParcourSup.
