Introduction

The bachelor's degree in Physiotherapy is taught jointly by the University School of Health and Sport (EUSES-UdG), a learning centre affiliated with the University of Girona and the School of New Interactive Technologies (ENTI-UB), affiliated with the University of Barcelona. The classes are held in the Bellvitge Health Campus, one of the benchmarks in clinical research in Catalonia.

The new technologies today have an increasing presence in all areas of health, as well as in physiotherapy. That is why the International Degree in Physiotherapy is a frontrunner and is very focused on the adaptation of technological tools to develop innovative treatments which also improve the effectiveness of the diagnoses and the patients’ therapeutic results.

The student will be able to design and develop interactive computer tools and applications for mobile devices to supplement his/her work as a physiotherapist, encompassing all areas of activity – evaluation, diagnosis and treatment.
