Specific Admission Requirements
The Master's Degree in Physical Activities and Sports for the Social Inclusion of People with Disabilities is primarily designed for graduates in Physical Activity and Sports Sciences, as well as those with a degree in Primary Education with a specialization in Physical Education.
Additionally, individuals holding a university degree related to the field of physical education or physical-sports activity, and who have at least some professional experience in the field of physical-sports practice for people with disabilities, may also enroll in the program.
