Providing an expert response to society's needs in terms of movement is the challenge that Master's graduates in motor sciences with a focus on physical education are preparing to take up in their professional practice.
The aim is to become a movement professional who optimises the motor behaviours of individuals and society for the benefit of health.
The future physical education graduate will acquire the knowledge and skills needed to :
- master the characteristics of movement and its effects in order to use it for educational, performance, well-being or managerial purposes, depending on their specialisation.
- interact by adapting to the target audience, particularly in terms of age and motor, physiological, psychological or sociological characteristics, as well as the context of the situation.
- be capable of organising, communicating and using his/her knowledge appropriately.
- be able to think critically and rigorously evaluate their practices in order to bring them up to date.
At the end of the course organised by the Faculty of Motor Sciences, the physical education graduate will have independently developed his/her personal and professional project.
Graduate profile
To translate this vision into action, the Faculty has developed a set of skills and learning outcomes defining the output profile of its graduates of the Master 120 in motor sciences, physical education specialism. This reference framework is made up of nine areas of competence and sets out the target to be achieved by the end of the course. The four values promoted throughout the training programme are also highlighted at the centre of this figure and integrated into the skills and learning outcomes reference framework.

On successful completion of this programme, each student is able to :
1) Intervention*
The order of the skills areas is not intended to be a hierarchy; all areas are equally important in the graduate's exit profile.
To intervene in the field of physical activity and sport with relevance to a complex problem in motor sciences, by mobilising specialised scientific knowledge and adapted technologies, with regard to the context, the target groups and the issues of social and environmental transition in relation to the objectives of sustainable development.

1.10. Incorporate innovative practices, including new technologies, into his/her work in an appropriate way, with the aim of adding value.
1.11. Plan and carry out his/her activities taking account of health issues and the social, environmental and health transition.

2.3 Develop and implement a rigorous, valid, reliable and relevant methodology for collecting and analysing quantitative and qualitative data.
2.4 Analyse and interpret results to the point of reasoned criticism, making appropriate use of relevant theoretical frameworks.
2.5 Summarise and critically formulate scientific conclusions and useful avenues of innovation and discuss them with experts and/or practitioners.
3) Health promotion
Be pro-actively involved in promoting individual or collective physical, mental and social health through physical activity and sport, while being aware of the environmental dimension of its actions.
3.1. Promote physical activity and sport for all as a pillar of physical, mental and social health.
3.2. identify and collaborate with partners who can contribute to promoting health through physical activity and sport.
3.3. Take action to promote health in order to reduce inequalities, while taking account of the eco-socio-cultural context and consequences.
3.4 Contribute to current debates and controversies in the field of motor sciences, including those relating to well-being and health.
3.5 Construct environments and adopt a stance that encourages learning and the empowerment of individuals or groups in relation to their practice.
4) Communication
Communicates and engages in dialogue in a way that is relevant to the aims of the intervention and adapted to the characteristics of the people with whom he/she is dealing and to the context of the motor sciences.
