How do toddlers learn to walk? How can augmented reality help patients with Parkinson's Disease? How do top athletes get maximum performance out of their muscles? What's the best training to improve stability and prevent falls among elderly people?

This two-year multidisciplinary Research Master's programme integrates fundamental scientific research with relevant questions from clinical and sports practice. You'll cover topics ranging from molecular biology to systems neuroscience, and from biomechanics to motor behaviour.

The programme has close ties with the Amsterdam Movement Sciences (AMS) institute, which contributes to the strong research focus and relevance of the course content.
