Master programme
LM-67 - Sport science for prevention and rehabilitation
The Master degree in "Exercise Sciences for Wellness" aims at training graduated specialists in exercise sciences to promote, conduct, prevent, maintain an active lifestyle suitable to evolutionary development and functional either to healthy people or to people affected by chronic diseases.
Professional outcomes of a master graduate in "Exercise Sciences for Wellness" (being in possession of technical, didactic and scientific competences adequate to ideation, planning and conduction of recreational, educational or sports activity in public and/or private organizations) will be represented by the possibility to assist health personnel, or acting indipendently, in the fields of prevention and health protection.
Professional activities of these graduates will be:
- fitness and physical activities adapted to people of different ages;
- effiency of the motor function in elderly;
- exercise to counteract chronic diseases related to sedentarity, poor- or non active lifestyles;
- physical activity to improve and recover lost function after an acute event (even hypo-activity), illness or injury that has caused functional limitations;
- sports and physical activities for disabled persons.

Within the Erasmus+ project, the School of Sport Sciences offers to its master's students in Sport Sciences of physical activity for fitness to spend part of their time for academic formation by one among nine prestigious European partner universities localised in Spain, Portugal, France, Austria, Norway, Poland, Hungary and Turkey. Erasmus students will have from 2 to a maximum of 12 month each cycle for their Erasmus formation. Remarkably, some University require a certificate demonstrating the level of student's language competence, which is compulsory for admission. During Erasmus, students will have the possibility to attend courses included in their academic curriculum and integrate their formation with alternative and optional courses that are typical of the University geographical contest (e.g. water-base sport, diving, sailing, trekking, skiing ). Alternatively, students could choose for a research-oriented experience and being actively involved in research programs useful for their thesis preparation. They could also have the possibility to perform their external training in centres agreed upon the partner University. Once back to the University of Milan, the passed exams and their relative credits will be integrated in the students' study plan, after ECTS/CFU conversion.
Attendance of all coursework is mandatory. To be allowed to sit the for-credit exam, students must have attended at least 70% of the educational programming contemplated for each class.
