Overview

The Physical Activity Sciences program at University of Montreal is designed to train researchers to become proficient in research methods and gain knowledge of the teaching staff’s areas of interest: motor learning, biomechanics, assessment, physiology, psychology and sociology.

Features

The general goal of the program is to train independent researchers. Students will conduct an original research program.

They will learn to develop original research hypotheses, use sound research methods to test them, rigorously interpret their findings and report these findings using different media, including peer-reviewed journals. At the end of the program and their subsequent postdoctoral training, students should be able to compete for research grants in their field of expertise.
