Learning unit contents
This course unit includes internships carried out in real-world professional settings across various sectors in which graduates in Motor Sciences may pursue their careers. These experiences enable students to enrich their learning by applying and confronting the theoretical knowledge acquired during their studies with concrete professional situations.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
The internships aim to provide students with further exposure to professional practice and to enable them to develop and consolidate skills related to their career goals. They also encourage students to explore a variety of professional settings, thereby maintaining a broad perspective on the different fields of application of Motor Sciences.
.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Students draw on all the knowledge and skills acquired since the beginning of their studies in Motor Sciences. Previous experience (involvement in sports or youth organisations, coaching or supervisory activities, student jobs, etc.) is considered an asset. The skills developed during the internships completed in Block 3 (3 BSM) also provide a foundation for this new field experience.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Students may choose to complete:
- a 40-hour internship in "Health and Well-being";
- a 40-hour internship in "Sports Training";
- or a combination of 20 hours in "Health and Well-being" and 20 hours in "Sports Training".
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)

Course materials and recommended or required readings
Written work / report
Continuous assessment
Further information:
Students are responsible for finding an internship placement and an internship supervisor. The choice of internship must be approved in advance by both the academic internship coordinator and the internship supervisor.
An internship agreement must be signed by all parties and submitted to the academic internship coordinator before the internship begins. Any hours completed before the agreement has been signed will not be taken into account.
The internship assessment is based on several components:
- the internship supervisor's evaluation;
- completion of the required internship hours;
- assessment of an internship report including a reflective analysis of the experience.
Work placement(s)
The "Health and Well-being" internship enables students to gain experience in a professional healthcare setting and to understand the role of physical activity in prevention, health promotion, and well-being. It also provides an opportunity to gain insight into how a healthcare organisation operates, the interactions between different professionals, and to develop a reflective approach to their own practice.
Internships hours may be completed in a hospital setting (cardiac rehabilitation, CPMO, Citoyen en mouvement, etc.), in the field of adapted sports (adapted sports clubs, the Ligue Handisport Francophone, etc.), or in any other organisation providing adapted physical activity programmes for specific populations.
The "Sports Training" internship enables students to explore different professional contexts related to the training process and to apply the scientific knowledge acquired during their studies. Activities may include physical conditioning, technical and tactical training, coaching, performance analysis, or any other activity contributing to athletes' development, regardless of their level of practice.
Internship hours may be completed within a single organisation or divided among several complementary activities (supervising a group, video analysis, completing an ADEPS or sports federation coaching course, attending a conference, etc.). For high-level student-athletes, a critical analysis of their own practice may also be recognised as part of the internship.
