Program Overview

Human Movement Sciences

Course Overview

Discover the science behind movement, health, and performance. In this master's, you'll explore how exercise and nutrition impact the body—from patients to athletes. Choose between two specialisations: Health & Rehabilitation or Sports & Nutrition.


Target Audience

This programme is for you if:


  • you have a keen interest in understanding the role of physical activity in the prevention and treatment of disease, and the role of physical exercise and nutrition in (sports) performance,
  • you are passionate about translating science to optimize human movement in relation to general health, aging, disease, and performance,
  • you want to promote physical activity as an answer to contemporary health issues.

Curriculum

In today's world, where health and well-being are more important than ever, the field of Human Movement Sciences holds increasing relevance. Human beings are built to move, but modern life has become increasingly sedentary, leading to chronic conditions like obesity, cardiovascular disease, and type 2 diabetes. As a result, governments and health organisations are recognising not only sports and exercise, but also general physical activity as a critical public health issue.


Understanding the biological basis of health benefits will aid in tackling these problems. This programme covers all aspects of the relationship between physical activity, health and performance: from patients trying to get better, to individuals just trying to stay fit, to top athletes aiming for the pinnacle of their sport.


Career Prospects

As a Human Movement Sciences graduate, you'll have a holistic background in physical activity, ageing, health and sports. This master's programme is for researchers, product developers, trainers, advisors, lecturers, entrepreneurs.


Tuition Fees

Maastricht University has a statutory and an institutional tuition fee. Which tuition fee you have to pay depends on your situation.
