All'interno del programma europeo Erasmus+, la Scuola di Scienze Motorie offre la possibilità agli studenti iscritti al corso di laurea magistrale in Scienze Tecnica e Didattica dello Sport di poter eseguire parte della loro formazione, scegliendo all'interno di importanti università partner distribuite in Spagna, Portogallo, Francia, Germania, Austria, Norvegia e Polonia, Turchia e Ungheria. Gli studenti che intendono trascorrere un periodo di studio all'estero avranno a disposizione dai due ai dodici mesi per ciclo di studio. È da rilevare la richiesta da parte di alcune Università di una certificazione che attesti il livello di conoscenza della lingua come conditio sine qua non poter accedere alla fase di selezione. Durante il periodo trascorso all'estero, avranno la possibilità sia di partecipare a lezioni tipiche del proprio curriculum di studio, sia di integrare le proprie conoscenze con materie complementari e opzionali tipiche della zona geografica dell'Università partner (sport acquatici condotti in ambiente marino, vela, sport invernali, sport di montagna ). Potranno alternativamente dedicare il loro soggiorno Erasmus+ alla ricerca, partecipando attivamente a progetti di ricerca, acquisendo così materiale da poter integrare nella tesi finale. Inoltre, si avrà la possibilità di poter svolgere le ore previste come tirocinio presso centri convenzionati con l'Università ospitante, arricchendo ancora di più il proprio bagaglio di esperienza (Erasmus Traineeship). Gli esami superati e i relativi crediti conseguiti all'estero saranno convertiti secondo le tabelle di conversione ECTS/CFU in relazione alle norme vigenti nello Stato dell'Università ospitante, e integrati all'interno del piano di studi dello studente.
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.
Practical Activities (PA)
The training program includes 20 CFU (University Educational Credits) of Practical Activities (PA) within the teachings of the Motor and Sports Sciences area. One CFU of PA consists of 12 hours of practical exercises, conducted either at university facilities or in appropriately equipped structures that meet technical requirements and student capacity, under the direct responsibility of the University

Enrolment
The Master's Degree Program in Sport Science, Technique and Didactics has open admission with an evaluation of entry requirements. To be admitted, candidates must hold a Bachelor's degree in class L-22 or 33 (previous system, DM 509/99) or an equivalent qualification.
The verification of entry requirements will consist of an assessment of the candidate's academic background, based on the list of completed exams, including grades and corresponding CFU (University Educational Credits).
The evaluation of the adequacy of personal preparation will be based on the results of exams in the BIOS (formerly BIO) and MEDF (formerly M-EDF) scientific-disciplinary sectors. If full adequacy cannot be determined from these results, candidates will be required to pass an individual interview. The oral interview will assess basic knowledge in Anatomy of the Locomotor System, Exercise Physiology, and Theory and Methodology of Training. In case of unsuitability, enrollment will not be possible.
Admission interviews will be held on 8 and 9 September 2025.
The interview calendar, with candidates given an interview slot at a designated date and time, will be posted via a notice to the programme website at:
