Additional aspects

Target group and Study focus:

Sport and exercise psychology is now established as a discipline capable of integrating knowledge and skills that derive from different areas of sports sciences, behavioural sciences and neurosciences. Because of the connection between motor and psychological aspects involved in sports at any level, the University Master's degree is aimed at both psychology graduates and sport sciences graduates, dividing them into two training courses that provide common and differentiated courses, taking into consideration the different training curriculums of the two professions.

The purpose of the 1st level University Master in Sports Psychology arises from the need to train professionals who, in relation to their specific basic training, know how to operate competently and effectively within different sport contexts and also in the recreational, social, preventive, rehabilitative and organizational contexts.

​

What to do afterwards, jobs perspectives:

Graduates looking to pursue a career in the applied setting may consider a career as a sport psychological expert, providing performance and personal development support to professional, recreational athletes or clients outside of the sport setting or intervening in different sport or motor contexts:​

competitive level (federations, national teams and also amateur and youth contexts);

supporting goals, such as the promotion of physical and sporting activities in various sections of the population; increasing individual and team performance; developing and monitoring programs that use sport as a tool for social integration, education, promotion of individual and group well-being;

in the recreational context and promotion of health and well-being, having the ability to support people’s motivation for physical exercise and requests related to an active and healthy lifestyle.

Graduates, with specific skills in sports psychology, will therefore be able to respond, always in relation to their specific basic professional training, to requests from all figures and from all contexts involved in motor and sport activities, such as federations, sports clubs , sports promotion bodies, educational agencies (e.g. school and family), individual athletes, coaches, managers and referees.
