Do you want to get to know the Faculty of Physiotherapy? What degrees do we offer?
The Universitat de València organises the "Conèixer la Universitat" programme with the aim of bringing the Universitat closer to high schools and showing future students its educational offer and services.
“Conèixer la Universitat” is an initiative of the Office of the Vice-Principal for Studies that is coordinated by the Information and Promotion Service (Sedi) and has the participation of the centres and services of the Universitat de València.
The Degree in Physiotherapy aims at training professionals in physiotherapy with the scientific skills and ability to describe, identify, consult and compare health problems related to the area of physiotherapy. Considering individuals in a threefold way (biologically, psychologically and socially), students learn a set of procedures, techniques and measures used to help people cure, recover and adapt after being affected by deteriorations, functional limitations or disabilities produced as a result of an injury, illness or other causes.
Graduates in Physiotherapy must be able to assess the patient's functional status, determine the physiotherapy diagnosis, design the physiotherapy intervention plan and provide effective physiotherapy care. Physiotherapists can intervene in the areas of health promotion, prevention, protection and recovery, when cooperating in multidisciplinary teams.
The target students of this Master’s Degree only can be:
- Graduated in Physiotherapy or diplomatura graduated in Physiology or similar degrees (that correspond to at least 75-80% of the content of these forementioned degrees and have enough credits, so that in the home country are sufficient to provide access to master's degrees).
The selection of the students will be made by the Academic Coordinating Committee.
To be accepted is an essential requirement being diplomatura graduated or undergraduate degree graduated in Physiotherapy.
For assessing the students it will be assign a punctuation for each one of the criteria that are specified below:
