The Bachelor's Degree in Physiotherapy from Nebrija University trains professionals capable of intervening at all levels of care, guaranteeing the promotion, prevention, maintenance and recovery or functional readaptation of the individual and the community.
>The curriculum provides the opportunity to develop basic and specific skills that, based on knowledge of anatomical and physiological normality and an understanding of basic science concepts, allow progress towards specific areas of knowledge and physiotherapeutic intervention.
The itinerary of laboratory practices throughout the entire Bachelor's Degree allows students to globally develop skills in a safe environment, and greatly complements the extensive practical training that gives access to the best centers of the public health system and private from their very first year.
The degree is taught at the Campus of Life Sciences, in La Berzosa, offering the student the opportunity to have laboratories and practice rooms innovatively equipped with the best scientific-technological tools at the time. In this way, the teaching-learning process and the acquisition of the skills and abilities necessary for a successful integration into the working world are promoted.
Read +A distinguishing feature is the incorporation of a solid itinerary of skills training and clinical simulation that allows students to train in realistic scenarios that constitute a safe learning environment. This itinerary is integrated into the different subjects, complementing and keeping coherence with the theoretical learning process and allowing its preclinical application.
The program’s organization is committed to providing care to areas of clinical specialization, without losing focus of the training of general practitioners for which the degree provides qualifications. This allows us to guarantee a professional profile capable of responding to the current morbidity derived from greater child survival sometimes associated with disability and/or special needs and, at the same time, the increase in the elderly population with the demands of aging and the increasingly prevalent non-communicable diseases. Along the same lines, the specific health needs of women are addressed.
On the other hand, this Bachelor's Degree is developed in total harmony with the global and interprofessional health approach promoted from the School of Life Sciences (FCVN), recently created at Nebrija University, and to which this degree belongs, in clear connection with other Bachelor's Degrees taught, such as Physical Activity and Sports Sciences, and Nursing.
