The European Master in Sport and Exercise Psychology, taught completely in English
is a two-year full-time program that offers educational opportunities for students of all nationalities.
The aim of our two-year, full-time (120 ECTS), English-speaking Master
program is to offer master’s level education in the area of Sport and Exercise Psychology and to educate students to a professional level. Students will
acquire the necessary knowledge and competencies that will enable them to
understand human behavior in exercise and sport contexts and to effectively
apply their knowledge to improve physical activity, health, well-being, and
high performance in public health and sports.
Sport and exercise psychology seeks to understand the psychological factors
that occur in sports, physical activity, and exercise. The focus is on behavior,
emotions and cognitions of persons involved in sport and exercise settings,
e.g. exercise participants, athletes, coaches, teachers, therapists, parents,
spectators, officials, etc. The psychology of sport and exercise draws upon
the scientific fields of psychology, sport, education, and health sciences.
Our master’s program provides a Double Degree in collaboration with the University of Leipzig
(Germany), the University of Chieti-Pescara (Italy) and the University of Orleans (France), to all students that will complete a semester at one of these Universities.
Professors are internationally acknowledged researchers, elected MC members of International & European Associations of Sport Psychology (ISSP,
FEPSAC) as well as Editors or Editorial board members of international journals (e.g.,
International Journal of Sport and Exercise Psychology, Sport Exercise and
Performance Psychology).
