Objectives and competences

The technical level of trainers is fundamental when optimising performance processes and sports technically from the first stages of sports training through to high levels. Therefore, innovation in physical preparation, the new trends in sports training, and the latest technologies applied to improve performance make up the central nucleus of these studies.

The INEFC Master's in Sports Performance: Technification and High Level (RETAN) allows, on the one hand, specialisation in team sports, one-against-one sports, individual sports or, specifically, in football.

In accordance with Article 16 of Royal Decree 1393/2007, of 29 October, students wishing to be admitted to a university master's degree must hold one of the following qualifications:

  • Official Spanish university degree.

  • A qualification issued by an institution outside the framework of the European Higher Education Area. In this case, applicants must request homologation of the degree to its equivalent official Spanish university qualification or obtain express approval from the University of Barcelona, which will conduct a study of equivalence to ensure that the degree is of a comparable level to an official Spanish university qualification and that it grants access to university master's degree study in the country of issue. Admission shall not, in any case, imply that prior qualifications have been recognized as equivalent to a Spanish master's degree and does not confer recognition for any purposes other than that of admission to the master's degree course.
