Our study programme is based on a big practical charge, where our students are in dealing with patients who usually speak in Spanish or Catalan.
Consequently, no classes are given in English
UAB can also offer to our incoming students, the possibility to complement their knowledge by entering some Spanish or Catalan course at our Language School:

Physiotherapy students taking 2nd and 3rd year courses are assigned to Sant Pau Teaching Unit during their stay at the UAB, and students assigned to 4th year courses are assigned to Vall Hebron Teaching Unit. There they will study both theory and practice of the subjects in which they are enrolled.
Combining both options is not advisable since courses are taugh in different hospitals. Please contact us if should you have any query about the process.
