Tuition fees are 6,425 USD per year.

Physiotherapy is a three-year bachelor's program taught in English at UniCamillus - Saint Camillus International University of Health Sciences, in Roma, Italy. Physiotherapy, also known as physical therapy, is a health care discipline concerned with restoring, maintaining and improving movement and physical function in patients affected by injury, illness, disability or aging. Typical coursework includes anatomy and physiology, biomechanics, kinesiology and pathology, alongside physiotherapy-specific subjects such as musculoskeletal, neurological, cardiorespiratory and pediatric physiotherapy, as well as rehabilitation techniques and therapeutic exercise. Students commonly also study clinical assessment methods, the use of physical modalities including manual therapy and electrotherapy, and the design of individualized rehabilitation programs. Supervised clinical practice is typically a significant part of physiotherapy education, during which students work directly with patients in hospital, outpatient or rehabilitation settings under the guidance of qualified physiotherapists, applying theoretical knowledge to real clinical cases. This blend of scientific study and hands-on clinical training prepares graduates to assess patients and develop treatment plans addressing a wide range of physical impairments. Graduates of physiotherapy programs typically work in hospitals, rehabilitation centers, private clinics, sports medicine settings and community health services, and some pursue further specialization in areas such as sports physiotherapy or neurological rehabilitation, or continue into graduate study in physiotherapy or related health sciences. Roma, as Italy's capital, is home to numerous hospitals and rehabilitation facilities that support the clinical training components of health science programs located there. Taught in English, this bachelor's program is designed for students, including those from outside Italy, who want to train as physiotherapists within an internationally oriented health sciences university.
