goals
The Master's program in applied sciences to movement and human cognition, of a professional nature, contributes to the development of interdisciplinary research that offers a greater depth of the formative areas defined in the undergraduate innovation process: i. Human Movement; ii: Research and iii. Professional Action.
Applicant Profile
A professional degree (eight semesters) or a Bachelor's degree issued by a national or foreign higher education institution. Foreign professional degrees or Bachelor's degrees must be apostilled at the corresponding embassy or consulate. If these certificates are in another language, they must be translated into Spanish.
Graduate profile
Graduates of the Master's Program in Applied Sciences to Movement and Human Cognition demonstrate the ability to design, implement, and evaluate innovative actions from a cross-cutting socio-critical approach, integrated within the Movement and Cognition framework. They demonstrate a complex performance that integrates communication skills and reflection on situated practice in research and development projects to optimize professional actions and collaborative work, with an interdisciplinary perspective on professional issues.
Lines of investigation
1. Movement and Cognition. Human movement is understood as action and perceptual experience derived from embodied behavior, with observable expressions ranging from the molecular-cellular level to the sociocultural level. Human cognition, in turn, refers to the capacity to know and interact with the world, which derives from attentional, motivational, memory, and learning processes that guide action in response to environmental challenges and generate embodied experiences. 2. Research and Professional Innovation. The Research and Professional Innovation area is a fundamental pillar in the training of graduates of the Master's Program in Applied Sciences to Human Movement and Cognition, as it provides tools for formulating relevant problems and generating strategies to address solutions in various professional fields. The purpose of this area is to improve professional performance in different areas of action to contribute to human well-being, learning, physical performance, working conditions, and other areas, integrated within the Movement-Cognition-Health axis.
