objectives
On the one hand, exercise and physical activity are means to get or stay healthy. On the other hand, physical activity, mobility and performance can also be an aim in itself. How can we help older people to remain mobile and independent? And how can we train athletes to become Olympic champions? As a Human Movement Sciences student, you will learn to apply biological knowledge of cells, tissues, organs and entire organisms to address such questions.
study abroad
During the research placement, each student will individually choose a research project/topic related to the chosen specialisation, This can be done within Maastricht University, at one of the Maastricht's partner universities around the world (e.g. Australia, Canada, Germany, UK, USA, etc), or at a specific health or sports institute. Based on your research placement you will write your master's thesis.

Lieke
After I graduate I would like to research the relationship between nutrition and performance. A dream job would be to become involved in the national ladies soccer team

I've chosen the track 'Sports and Nutrition' which is exactly what I was looking for. My fellow students all come from very different backgrounds. Some are professional athletes, others work in a health or scientific setting. There are a lot of international students, too, and they bring their own perspective and temperament into the discussion. With PBL you also learn all these leadership and management skills, preparing you for a future career.

In today's aging society, it is essential that we deliver well-educated students with a strong academic background in physical activity, exercise and/or nutrition as it is becoming increasingly evident that these lifestyle factors are key to optimising and maintaining health and physical performance throughout the entire lifespan.
