Course description:

 
The MEEF-EPS specialisation is primarily aimed at students wishing to obtain a physical education teaching qualification in France and abroad and prepare for the CAPEPS examination, or even to pursue their studies and prepare for the EPS external agrégation exam or for a PhD in Sports Science (STAPS).

In terms of Continuing Education, it is also aimed at people wishing to develop their skills to analyse, evaluate and provide guidance in the physical education teaching processes, like those held by departmental teaching tutors and advisors and regional teaching inspectors.

Lastly, it is also likely to be of interest to teachers with extensive experience opting for a career in physical education teacher training, and wishing to obtain skills in Initial and Continuing Professional Training.
 
This Master specialisation is organised in four semesters of teaching (except in the context of Validation of Professional Experience) and includes one or more long work placements in a professional context. Courses are structured to ensure a balance between theory and practice.

Teamwork is a constant feature of how the course is organised. Contributions by a number of professionals (50% of teaching staff) is a guarantee and proof of links between the professional sphere and the university.

Total hours per student in Master 1 and in Master 2: semesters of between 250 and 300 hours.

Professional work placements form the core basis of the course and are particularly important. They give rise to a dissertation, to be presented before a panel.
