| Profile | This programme is a cooperation between K.U.Leuven, Norges Idrettshogskole, Universita Palckeho v Olomcouci, University of Limerick - and University of Queensland, University of Virginia, Universiteit Stellenbosch. The 'Erasmus Mundus Master of Adapted Physical Activity' (EMDAPA) is a post graduate university training, providing (1) a state-of-the-art on research and research methodology in adapted physical activity; and (2) social, agogic, and technical aspects of physical activities, adapted to special populations. Through these (A)dapted (P)hysical (A)ctivities, (a) therapeutic objectives in the treatment and the training of persons with both psychic or chronically somatic diseases and disabilities are aimed at, and, (b) through therapy, education, recreational activities and (elite) sports, optimal self-fulfilment is sought. |

| Learning outcomes | The 'Erasmus Mundus Master of Adapted Physical Activity' (EMMAPA) is a master programme, providing (1) a state-of-the-art on research and research methodology in adapted physical activity; and (2) social, agogic, and technical aspects of physical activities, adapted to special populations. Through these (A)dapted (P)hysical (A)ctivities, (a) therapeutic objectives in the treatment and the training of persons with both psychic or chronically somatic diseases and disabilities are aimed at, and, (b) through therapy, education, recreational activities and (elite) sports, optimal self-fulfilment is sought. The successful student should be familiar with (1) the main concepts, the acquired knowledge and the current research in APA-studies, including the completion of a research project; with (2) the nature of indications and / or limitations of physical activity for these persons, based on research findings; and with (3) the application and evaluation of adequate methodological, social and integration strategies in the implementation of adapted physical activity. Because the field of action is wide, and, in the curricula of most universities only limited attention is paid to this specific application of human movement, the objective of the programme is to combine the competencies of European universities as well as of universities from other continents, in order to offer students a comprehensive training in the many aspects of APA. In bringing together experts from all over Europe and as well from all over the world (Erasmus Mundus) at the K.U.Leuven, a review is given of the present APA situation in the European countries and in other involved countries from all over the world, with respect to this field of action.

| Other conditions |
Direct access: . Bachelor of Physical Education and Kinesiology . Bachelor of Rehabilitation Sciences and Physiotherapy Admission decisions are based upon evaluation of a complete application file: . Bachelor of Physical Education . Bachelor of Physiotherapy . Bachelor of Sport Sciences . Bachelor of Movement Sciences . Bachelor of Motor Rehabilitation . Master's degree in the above mentioned study fields We will offer students, who have already obtained a relevant Master diploma elsewhere the opportunity to follow a reduced programme of one-stage based on an individual assessment of previous study curriculum. Since the official language of the master's programme is English, students are expected to be sufficiently conversant in English to be able to understand and discuss scientific literature. Applicants must prove the level of their English by a language certificate such as Proficiency, (URL:www.ets.org/portal/site/ets/menuitem.fab)TOEFL, IELTS, Pitman, etc., or by demonstrating that some of their previous studies were successfully completed in English. Each academic year, one week after the application deadline, the Consortium Board holds a meeting to evaluate the students proposals and to select the successful candidates. The Consortium Board selects the candidates for enrolment in the Erasmus Mundus Master in Adapted Physical Activity according to the criteria set and approved by a representative of each of the partner universities. Examination results, project proposals, letters of motivation, and letters of recommendation form part of the admission process. In general, the Consortium assesses students individually on the basis of their previous academic record. Applications without an official certificate of English proficiency (e.g. TOEFL or IELTS) will not be considered. TOEFL (Computer-based test 213 pt., Internet-based test 79 - 80 pt., Paper-based test 550 pt.) or IELTS (6.5 - 7 pt.) |
