Blanquerna-URL - Carrer Padilla, 326-332. 08025 Barcelona
Blanquerna School of Health Sciences
The course is aimed at physiotherapists with an interest in the care of children and with experience, if possible, of the physiotherapeutic treatment of infants, children and/or adolescents. Students should be interested in acquiring knowledge about neurodevelopment, the processes of assessment and exploration in pediatric patients, the most common diseases and pathologies in this stage of life and the holistic approach to therapy, and establishing links with those around them. It is essential for them to have empathy and the ability to communicate effectively with adults, as therapy also involves dealing with families, and they will need to work with a multidisciplinary, cross-cutting approach.
The Blanquerna-URL University Master Degree in Child Physiotherapy addresses all aspects of child development, from the neonatal stage to adolescence. Based on a knowledge of the assessment tools designed for this group, a physiotherapeutic diagnosis is made and an individualized therapeutic treatment plan is drawn up. The treatment chosen depends on a comprehensive view of the child and its environment and is based on the best available scientific evidence.

The master degree internship is carried out in established pediatrics centers, so that the student can assimilate the theoretical knowledge acquired and apply it in a setting devoted to the promotion of children's health, their recovery and preventive medicine. The role of the physiotherapist within a multidisciplinary team and an exhaustive knowledge of the psychosocial and motor development of the child underlie the holistic vision of the therapeutic approach.

The master degree final thesis is an individual assignment that brings together the theoretical and practical knowledge acquired during the course. Students will be required to design and carry out a research or development project for a service model based on therapeutic physical exercise.
The study must make a proposal for treatment, research or innovation in child physiotherapy, contextualized in a real environment that interests the student and where there is a justification for the project.
At the end of the project a thesis must be submitted by the student and defended before an academic panel.
Students preparing a thesis will be supervised individually and in groups.
Individual supervision will be by a thesis advisor, who will determine the viability of the project and confirm that the thesis is ready to be presented to the panel.
In the case of advisors who are not members of the master degree teaching staff, a system of tutorials will be established to assess the progress of the project and determine when the thesis is ready to be presented. Group tutorials will be held in the Seminar space throughout the course, especially during the second semester.

University master degrees are official degrees awarded by the Ministry of Education and Vocational Training, in accordance with the requirements of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) and the guidelines set out in the Bologna Declaration. To access the official master degree, you must hold an official Spanish university degree, or a degree from another country that is part of the European Higher Education Area. Access to master degree studies is regulated by Royal Decree 822/2021, of 28 September.
These studies are also open to students with a degree issued by an education system outside the European Higher Education Area, who do not need to have it approved, provided that the level of training is equivalent to that of an official Spanish degree and that, in the country of origin, the degree gives access to graduate studies. However, admission does not in any case imply the convalidation of the degree or any other type of recognition beyond allowing the student to access master and graduate studies at the University.
The application process consists of two parts:
Students can pre-enroll online (by accessing Pre-enrollment | Blanquerna or the pre-enrollment option for each course). You can also pre-enroll in person at the School. During the process, the candidate must submit the required documentation:
Payment of €100 pre-enrollment fee. If you are not admitted to any of the options requested or if the course is cancelled by the School of Health Sciences-Blanquerna, the amount will be refunded during the academic year in which you pre-enrolled, subject to presentation of the corresponding receipt. Payment is by credit or debit card using a secure, confidential process.
When pre-enrollment has been completed, the candidate will be offered a date for an interview with the director and/or coordinator of the master degree, who will assess their suitability and resolve any doubts they may have about the course for which they are enrolling. For the selection of candidates the following will be taken into account:
Once the assessment is complete, the student will be informed of the result of the interview and how to enroll, if admitted.
Students who are admitted can choose between two options, depending on whether or not they already qualify for university admission:
Enrollment is the final step in the procedure to access the master degree. Students will be informed individually of the enrollment date. When enrollment is complete, and the corresponding fee has been paid, the student will have secured a place. Course fees are paid in installments without any interest. When students enrol, they will have two business days to pay 50% of the total cost of the credits for which they have enrolled, by bank transfer or using a barcode at the bank; the remaining 50% is split into nine monthly installments, from October to June, payable by direct debit using the bank account indicated at the time of enrollment.
School alumni are given a 15% discount on the enrollment fee (non-cumulative discount). This discount will only apply to students who enroll full-time for all the credits required in the course. Prices are updated each academic year. Once enrollment is complete, the amount paid will not be refunded under any circumstances.
Students must bring the following documentation with them when they enroll:
When a student enrolls, a contract for the provision of teaching services is formalized between the student and the Blanquerna Foundation, which is legally binding from the time of payment. Payment includes the corresponding insurance and, for students under the age of twenty-eight, compulsory academic insurance. If a student declines to take up a place, he/she will lose in full any amount he/she has paid.
The student accepts the rules for the use of computer services established by the Blanquerna Foundation. The student's personal data will be included in an automated file under the responsibility of the Blanquerna Foundation, so that this contract can be maintained and fulfilled. Students should note that their data may also be used to inform them about the future activities of the Foundation, or for the institution to send them publications.
In accordance with the provisions of Organic Law 15/1999 on the protection of personal data, students have the right to access their data to update, rectify or cancel them, or object to their use, by sending a letter, indicating which right they want to exercise.
This section is a summary of the general conditions for enrollment. It is only for guidance and therefore has no contractual value. In the event of any discrepancy, the provisions of the general conditions for enrollment specified in the receipt generated at the time of enrollment will prevail; this receipt formalizes the contract between the student and the Blanquerna Foundation; students can consult it on the intranet whenever they wish.
The School reserves the right to ask candidates with qualifications obtained outside the EHEA for a letter from their university, embassy or consulate to certify that their studies qualify them to pursue a master degree or graduate studies.
Students are responsible for having all the official documentation necessary for their stay in Spain while studying at the School. Applicants can ask for a pre-acceptance document attached to the pre-enrollment receipt to initiate applications for visas or scholarships or carry out any other administrative procedure. Under no circumstances does this document guarantee a place if all the access and admission requirements are not met.
Once applicants have been accepted and enrollment is complete, they can request a letter of admission from the Academic Secretary, if required, by paying the corresponding fee.

As the European Union points out, gender equality is not only a matter of social justice but also affects the results of teaching and research. Promoting gender equality in research and innovation is one of the European Commission's commitments, and it supports the explicit integration of a gender perspective in Horizon 2020 projects. However, this recommendation is often poorly understood and misapplied. Various documents are presented here with a view to contributing to a better understanding and application of the gender perspective in teaching and research.
