The aim of the Degree in Podiatry is to produce professionals with the theoretical knowledge and practical skills needed to prevent, diagnose and treat foot-related conditions. Thanks to their general knowledge of the human body and specialised training in feet, podiatrists can work alongside other specialists to provide patients with a specific and effective diagnosis and treatment.

The Degree in Podiatry offers the following career opportunities:

• Care tasks in podiatry clinics, polyclinics, primary care centres, hospitals or sports centres.
• Teaching and research work in universities, scientific societies, foundations and companies specialising in podiatry.

The Degree in Podiatry qualifies graduates to practise as podiatrists according to Spanish and European laws.

To study Podiatry, it is advisable that students have some prior knowledge of biology, chemistry, mathematics and physics.

During the third and fourth academic years, students undertake internships in order to consolidate their theoretical knowledge and gain practical experience in their future profession. Internships are part of the Integrated Clinical Practicum module.
