The teaching will be offered through Intensive Courses, providing:

a) Theoretical work – involving, for each specific course:

• Introduction, program outline, and information on study materials;
• Teaching corresponding to main aspects of the program;
• Organisation of working plan and tutoring for program completion through individual study;
• Outline of distance learning procedures, assessments and exams.

b) Field work – involving laboratory and clinical work, such as measurements, assessments, exercise prescriptions, and other activities, both in the context of the first-year Teaching Modules and of the second-year Internship.

In particular the courses and the distribution of the relative credits will be organised as follows:

FIRST YEAR (students enrolled academic year 2026-2027)

Total ECTS: 60

SECOND YEAR (students enrolled academic year 2025-2026)

The 2nd-year, first-semester curriculum is highly flexible, allowing each student to design a personalised learning path by selecting two to four intensive training periods (total 30 ECTS credits, including up to 5 credits available online). These periods, undertaken at partner institutions, combine theoretical foundations with technical and practical training in physical activity, and may be complemented by interdisciplinary coursework and internship experiences. This structure enables students to align their studies with their specific professional interests and the educational objectives of the European MSc in Health and Physical Activity programme.

Among the fourteen courses offered, each student is required to select two core courses from the six main offerings (each awarding 10–15 ECTS credits) provided by partner universities (Group A); if necessary to complete the 30 ECTS credits required for the first semester, students may further integrate their study plan by selecting one or more courses from the remaining eight supplementary offerings (each awarding 5–10 ECTS credits) (Group B). In addition, students may, if desired, enrol in supplementary courses as extra-curricular activities to broaden their competencies beyond the mandatory credit requirements.

Owing to their shared learning outcomes, the various courses comprise the following multidisciplinary components. The credit allocation for each component varies in accordance with the total ECTS assigned to the course.
