Doctorate in Sports Psychology

School of Business and Economics

Atlantic International University

The objective of the Doctoral Program in Sport Psychology is organized in two fields of application and research, that have in common the professors of the program and the approach in the lines of research: health psychology, and psychology of physical activity and sport. These two branches share psychological principles, models and research methods, and have different fields of application, depending on the end users and situations (health in the general population and health in athletes). Our program does not require all students to study the same subjects and use the same books and other learning materials as others. If you are a purpose-driven individual who wants to elevate your life and make a solid contribution to the world, then this program is for you. (Courses and Study Plans)
