Abstract

The formation into Physiotherapy discipline in different european countries presents important cu¬
riculum differences. At present, Diploma course and Licenciate programs are imparted, with different credits medition systems, this suppose the existence of high variations in the school charge, which stu¬
ents must study to obtain his tittle.
 One of the essential differences between University formation in Spain and other European coun¬
ries, is that, in the last ones, the computable credits are steemed like the hours that students dedica¬
e to study and for personal labour.
 Although it's stablished the movility of physiotherapy professionals into European Unit territory, in practice, the important curriculum differences difficult this possibility.
 The valoration of the possible solutions, which are contributed from different institutional ambits to try to mitigate the absence of uniformity in the Physiotherapy formation, let us think about the suita¬
le solution in Spain, which takes root in a second specific cicle in Physiotherapy that permits the de¬
elopment of Doctorate programs.
