Presentation

General information about the degree

📚 Overview

The University of Deusto Double Degree in Physiotherapy and Physical Activity and Sport Sciences offers comprehensive training that combines physiotherapy with physical activity and sport. Students gain skills in diagnosing, treating and preventing injuries and conditions through physiotherapy techniques, as well as in planning, managing and evaluating physical activity and sports programmes. The curriculum covers areas such as anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, rehabilitation, sports training, public health and the promotion of healthy lifestyles.

✨ Specific Information

This double degree leads to two official qualifications through an integrated academic pathway, optimising the time required for training. Students have access to specialist facilities, laboratories and sports spaces. Practical training is a core part of the programme and includes clinical placements in healthcare and sports centres, as well as opportunities to take part in international mobility programmes such as Erasmus. The University of Deusto promotes research and innovation in health and sport.

👤 Recommended Profile

This double degree is recommended for students interested in health sciences, sport and physical activity who wish to develop skills in both healthcare and sports settings. The ability to work in a team, communication skills, a desire to help others and motivation to improve people's quality of life are beneficial.

🚀 Further Study and Career Prospects

After completing the double degree, graduates can pursue master's degrees and specialist training in areas related to physiotherapy, physical activity, health and sport. They are also qualified to enter the job market in healthcare, sports and rehabilitation centres or research, or to develop their own projects in health and sport.

Sciences

Physics

Physics is the science that seeks to understand how the universe works at its most fundamental level. From the behaviour of the smallest particles to the expansion of the cosmos, studying Physics means learning to ask the right questions and find answers with mathematical and experimental rigour. Classical mechanics and relativity: how bodies move and what space-time is Quantum physics: the strange world of atoms and subatomic particles Thermodynamics, electromagnetism and optics Astrophysics and cosmology: the origin and structure of the universe Experimental laboratory work and computational modelling Applied mathematics as an essential tool A career in Physics opens doors to scientific research, technology, quantitative finance, artificial intelligence and much more.

Health

Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy is the discipline that studies how to assess, prevent and treat injuries, pain and movement problems through physical, manual and therapeutic techniques. It is not simply about “getting someone fit”: it is a science that combines anatomy, biomechanics and clinical skills to help people regain their quality of life. Anatomy and physiology applied to human movement Manual techniques: massage therapy, joint mobilisation and manipulation Electrotherapy, ultrasound and other therapeutic technologies Sports, neurological, respiratory and paediatric physiotherapy Real clinical placements from the first years of study You will be able to work in hospitals, private clinics, elite sports teams and rehabilitation centres, or set up your own practice.
