Presentation
This specialization aims to train research professionals in the field of human movement. Students who have completed the Research Master's degree are expected to continue their studies in the Doctorate program, which should end with the defense of a University thesis.
The research master's degree and doctoral studies are reserved for the most motivated students and have only a limited number of places. However, the professional integration of graduates is excellent.
After their thesis and usually a post-doctoral internship, students find jobs in higher education, research organizations, as well as in research laboratories or "research and development" structures of private sector companies.
The research master's program offers three courses:
- Motor Control: Specialization in the processes linking perception and action in the control and learning of perceptual-motor coordinations and the kinematic and dynamic modeling of the human body in motion.
- Movement Physiology: Specialization in the physiological mechanisms involved in the production of human movement, their regulation, the influence of environmental factors and the speci city of immediate and long-term responses in different populations.
- Psychology of Effort: Specialization in the study of psycho- logical and psycho-social processes involved in the practice of physical activities for health, well-being or performance
Objectives
The objective of the courses offered in semester 3 of the second year of the Master's program is to make students aware of the research questions that are raised in the various scientific fields that support the Movement Sciences, the evolution of the underlying theoretical models as well as the experimental paradigms used. The courses are organized in two distinct groups: cross-disciplinary courses and methods, and specialization courses.
- The objective of the methodological courses is to provide students with in-depth knowledge of the most relevant tools and methods used in the scientific fields of reference, with normal and pathological movement as the object of study.
- The objective of the specialization courses is to provide students with in-depth theoretical knowledge of the mechanisms, determinants and processes involved in human behavior in the fields of sport, physical activity and movement.
Know-how and skills
The targeted skills are as follows:
- Scientific and methodological knowledge of the supporting scientific field
- Design of research systems and conduct of research protocols
- Transversal, organizational and relational skills: autonomy, scientific communication, mastery of tools, networking, laboratory techniques, scientific production.
