Study Double Degree in Physical Activity and Sports Sciences (CAFYD) + Physical Therapy in Madrid

Two worlds, one vocation: caring for and optimising human movement

How would you feel if an athlete thanked you for helping them return to competition? How would it feel to hear an older person say that, thanks to your support, they can enjoy their daily walks again? This Double Degree brings together the clinical and sports fields, preparing you to play a decisive role in athletic recovery, pain management, and the improvement of overall well-being.

You will study on an elite sports campus and train in real professional environments, including the Physiotherapy Clinic, the Simulation Centre, and specialised sports facilities. At UFV, you will experience sport and health in an integrated way, both inside and outside the classroom. This comprehensive approach has earned the University the Gold Campus 2024 (ACSM) award in recognition of its commitment to wellness and physical activity.
