Physiotherapy: Physiotherapie ist nicht nur Hilfe zur Rehabilitation, sondern Prävention und Diagnose sowie Heilung. Das Studium der Physiotherapie an der CEU Valencia ermöglicht den Studenten bereits vor Ende des Studiums Patienten sicher und selbstbewusst zu behandeln. Dies wird durch eine klinische Phase während des letzten Jahres des Studiums und durch ein physiotherapeutisches Praktikum gewährleistet. Mehr als die Hälfte der Lehrkräfte sind zusätzlich auch aktiv als Physiotherapeuten tätig, sodass die Studenten innerhalb des Studiums einen hohen Bezug zum ausgeübten Beruf entwickeln.
