Masters in Sports Training and Nutrition

Delivered by Escuela Universitaria Real Madrid in partnership with Universidad Europea de Madrid, this nine-month campus-based master's programme prepares sports professionals to optimise athletic performance through an integrated scientific approach. Students learn to design personalised training programmes, advanced nutrition and hydration plans, and recovery strategies applicable across elite sports including football, tennis, basketball, and cycling. The curriculum covers exercise physiology, load management, body composition assessment, supplementation, and emerging areas such as chrononutrition and microbiota, with guaranteed internship placements at organisations including Real Madrid C.F. and Getafe C.F.

The programme is delivered on campus in Madrid — primarily at the Villaviciosa de Odón site — in English or Spanish, and runs for nine months at 60 ECTS credits, leading to an official degree from Universidad Europea de Madrid. Standout credentials include a pathway to ISAK Level 1 anthropometrist certification and preparation for the NSCA Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) qualification. The faculty sits within a university ranked among the global top 30 in its field by the 2025 Shanghai Academic Ranking.
