Additional aspects

Target group and Study focus:

The aim of the PPMR programme is to ensure students’ immediate professional insertion. The specific characteristic of this course is to propose training in 3 complementary areas of expertise: physical training, mental preparation and return to sport. In particular, graduates:

- will master the use of tools for assessing several types of participants (athletes, competitors, amateurs, those returning to sport after an injury) to draw up personal physical and/or mental assessments;

•  will be able to design programmes to develop and maintain physical and mental abilities as well as return-to-sport programmes

• will be able to plan the content of and lead sessions, and adapt programmes to participants’ needs and to the sports and activities concerned

•  will master the technical, tactical and strategic aspects of the activity, for which they will develop a training, performance optimisation and return-to-sport programme

 

What to do afterwards, jobs perspectives

The 3 professional insertion surveys carried out with 2009-10, 2010-11 and 2011-12 graduates show that 59 out of 71 graduates in the Master in Sports Science (STAPS) specialising in PPMR responding to the survey were in employment one year after obtaining their degree.

 

This high rate of employment, equal to 83.1%, indicates a very satisfactory professional insertion rate.

 

According to the job titles indicated in these surveys, 70% of jobs are in the sector of sport performance and concern the following professions: physical trainer, mental trainer, personal sports coach, manager and sports instructor.
