PESS Research
Physical Education and Sports Science (PESS) AG has a vibrant research culture involving all academic staff who actively pursue major research grants - the result of a major interdisciplinary collaboration with the Ministry of Education.
Applied psychology, biomechanics, exercise physiology, health and wellness, pedagogy and sports studies are well-established research fields and motor-control/development and coaching are emerging as strong contenders.
Applicants who are keen to pursue a Higher Degree programme by research in physical education or sports science should first contact PESS directly (Programme Leader: Asst Prof Luis Calmeiro) to establish feasibility as well as an appropriate research supervisor before submitting their application to NIE.
