Some of the companies with which UAX Mare Nostrum has an agreement:
The University establishes a process for admission to postgraduate studies that can be summarised as follows:
Assessment of the candidate's academic and professional profile, in relation to the programme's entry requirements, previous qualifications and the suitability of their experience for the chosen master's degree.
Review of the academic transcript and the documentation provided, which may include, depending on the programme, specific admission tests or assessment of merits.
Personal interview with the academic director of the master's degree or a member of the Academic Committee, aimed at assessing the candidate's motivation, expectations and fit with the programme.
Final assessment of the application, which will allow admission to be determined according to the candidate's profile and the availability of places.

Number of new admission places offered:

The graduate profile is a physiotherapy professional with specialised postgraduate training in the field of sport: able to achieve prevention by knowing the athlete and the sporting speciality, able to detect the possible injury by carrying out a comprehensive assessment, able to treat the injury with the appropriate techniques to obtain optimal results and able, in order to prevent recurrence, to carry out the readaptation of the injury to the specific sport.
In this sense, its specialised nature differentiates it from a graduate, insofar as it focuses on working with professional athletes and/or sports amateurs, which allows it to master in greater depth, the assessment and treatment of injuries produced by physical activity and sport, as well as to apply specific methods for the treatment and prevention of sports injuries, taking into account the necessary rapid and safe recovery of the sports patient, as well as the optimisation of their performance and the prevention of future injuries.
They are also able to interact with the sports community and the psychosocial environment of the sportsperson, have the ability to work in integration with the rest of the professionals in the sports environment and are able to critically evaluate their practice in relation to new information, designing and developing projects in the field of physical activity and sport physiotherapy.
