Internship regulations.
Internships are a key element of your training. Gaining experience after what you have learned in your degree is the best way to enter the job market. There are two types of internships: curricular (included in your curriculum) and extracurricular (which you can do on a voluntary basis).
In order to do an internship in a company, you will need to have passed 50% of the credits and enrol in the subject before starting your internship. These internships are monitored by the company and the internship professor and also involve interim and final reports for assessment.
If you would like to improve your work experience before finishing your university studies, you can do an internship. You can do them in any academic year, but we remind you that internships are a training complement to your studies; therefore, the more knowledge you have acquired throughout your degree, the more you will benefit from the internship experience.
You get 1,200 hours of clinical practice training from the second year, with special rotations in the neurology and cardiorespiratory department.

Increasingly internationally recognised, physiotherapy is still developing and continues to be used for various purposes depending on the place and patients’ needs, but, without doubt, has a positive effect on anyone trying it. Over the past few years new branches and specialisations have arisen enabling physiotherapists to take a specific direction within their profession, which also serves to differentiate them from the competition. Specialisations such as paediatric, neurological or sports physiotherapy are just some examples of how a professional in this field can focus on one or another field, which also involves new business opportunities. With the Bachelor’s degree in Physiotherapy you will be able to describe, identify, treat and compare health problems that can be responded to with Physiotherapy.
Specialisation Areas:
At health centres, general and specialist hospitals, special inclusion and education schools, private clinics, mutuals and insurance companies, gyms and sports clubs, spas, homes and centres for the elderly, schools and management and administration posts, amongst others.
