The MSc program in Health and Exercise Science at Concordia University is designed to provide students with advanced knowledge and research skills in the field of exercise science and its applications to health, fitness, and performance. The program emphasizes both theoretical foundations and practical applications in the study of human movement, exercise physiology, sports nutrition, biomechanics, and related areas.

Here is a general outline of the program's curriculum:

Core Courses: The MSc program typically includes a set of core courses that provide a foundation in health and exercise science. These courses may cover topics such as exercise physiology, biomechanics, research methods in exercise science, exercise and chronic disease, sports nutrition, and advanced topics in exercise science.

Elective Courses: Students have the opportunity to choose elective courses based on their specific interests and research focus. These courses may cover various areas within health and exercise science, such as motor control and learning, exercise psychology, sports performance, injury prevention and rehabilitation, exercise and aging, and exercise prescription for special populations.

Research Methods and Techniques: The program may include courses that focus on advanced research methods and techniques in health and exercise science. These courses help students develop the necessary skills to conduct independent research, including experimental design, data collection, statistical analysis, and interpretation of research findings.

Research Seminars and Journal Clubs: Students may participate in research seminars and journal clubs where they engage with faculty and peers to discuss current research topics, present their own research findings, and critically analyze scientific literature.

Thesis or Research Project: As a culmination of their studies, students are typically required to complete a thesis or research project. This involves conducting original research under the guidance of a faculty supervisor and presenting their findings in a written thesis or project report.

In addition to coursework and research, students may have opportunities for practical experiences, such as internships, fieldwork, or collaborations with community organizations or industry partners in the field of health and exercise science.
