Admission profile

As for the academic profile, it is recommended that future students of the Degree in Physiotherapy access through the baccalaureate modality of "Science and Technology". In addition, in accordance with the provisions of article 34.1 of the Organic Law 2/2006, on Education, we consider that it is of utmost importance for the development of their future studies, that these students take the subjects of "Biology" and "Physics" in the 2nd year of baccalaureate.

In terms of personal characteristics, it is recommended that future physiotherapy students have the following attributes:

  1. Vocation
  2. Sense of responsibility
  3. Ability to relate and interpersonal contacts
  4. Manual dexterity
Worth Noting:

The Degree in Physiotherapy allows graduates to practise the profession of physiotherapy in accordance with all legal requisites and regulations in force.

The experimental nature of the degree means that both the practical classes and external internships in clinics (in which direct contact with patients plays an important role) represent a fundamental part of the training offered by the University of Valencia to Physiotherapy students.
