A Welcome Message from Mr. ERIC DREIDEMY, Director of Academic Affairs
The courses offered in the STAPS program provide scientific and technical skills centered on human movement, physical activity, and sports. The program is multidisciplinary and combines biological sciences (neuroscience, physiology) with social sciences (psychology, sociology, history, anthropology). As indicated in the course outlines describing the program, courses are delivered in the form of lectures (CM), tutorials (TD), and practical sessions (TP). They cover the scientific foundations for understanding and analyzing physical activities, as well as for their instruction, rehabilitation, and training, along with courses on sports techniques.
Starting in the second year of the bachelor’s program, students can choose from the following specializations: Adapted Physical Activities and Health (APAS), Education and Motor Skills (EM), Sports Training (ES), and Sports Management (MS). Each semester includes a core curriculum (TC) that complements the specialized tracks. The course credits (ECTS) are listed for each Teaching Unit (TU), and the courses withinTU assigned a weighting (coef).
The bachelor's degree program is organized into six semesters. Odd-numbered semesters begin in early September and end in December with exams; even-numbered semesters begin in January and end in May, also with exams. A second exam session (make-up exams) takes place in June.
In the first and second years of the Master’s program, students take general courses and six specialized courses: Prevention and Rehabilitation (APPS RAPA), Prevention, Health Education, and Physical Activities (APAS PESAP), Teaching Professions (MEFEPS), Management of Sports and Tourism Products and Services (MTS), Physical Conditioning and Return to Sport (EOPS STEP), Physical Conditioning and Coaching (EOPS Psycoach).
The STAPS degree programs, particularly the master’s programs, are supported by four laboratories or research teams studying human movement, rehabilitation, and fundamental understanding of the body, as well as muscle physiology, sociology, and psychology in the health sciences.
The following sports are offered through our Department of Physical Education and Sports Science (UFR.STAPS): Track and Field, Basketball, Badminton, Dance, Rock Climbing, Soccer, Gymnastics, Handball, Judo, Weight Training, Swimming, Rugby, Tennis, Triathlon, Sailing, and Volleyball. Please note, however, that the number of student spots in each sports group is limited.
