Objectives and competences

The master's degree in pediatric podiatry at the UB is worth 60 credits and was created to respond to the pediatric training needs of podiatry professionals, to gain the required knowledge in child health and normal development.
For those interested in continuing their academic career and being able to pursue doctoral studies in the future, we offer the possibility (thanks to the agreement established between the UB and CESPU) of completing an official master's degree of 120 credits, spread over two academic years.
