The goal of Humanitas University is to train physiotherapists with high professional skills and a solid methodological training.

During the three-year course students will explore the basic science, the clinical sciences and the main approaches used in all the areas of physiotherapy intervention needed to achieve professional autonomy (functional assessment, definition and extent of the treatment together with the definition of the objectives of the physiotherapy), with particular attention to the approaches supported by scientific studies and the most modern technologies used in physiotherapy, such as robotics and virtual reality.

From the very first year, tutors will follow the students to promote active learning and help them plan personalised therapeutic programmes based on a functional assessment of the patient.

Finally, on the occasion of clinical training, thanks to the tight integration between the University and Humanitas IRCCS, students will work together with expert physiotherapists of the highly specialized Humanitas Hospital and will be able to acquire advanced technical skills that will allow them to work in the neurological, orthopedic, sport, respiratory, cardiac and urogenital fields.
