The Master’s Thesis (TFM) is one of the main components of the Master’s in Respiratory and Cardiac Physiotherapy and reflects the program’s strong research orientation. Throughout the master’s program, students develop a longitudinal research project linked to one of the research lines of the academic staff or associated research groups, such as IFET (Interventions in Physiotherapy and Therapeutic Exercise).

Each student receives personalized supervision from a faculty researcher, who guides them through every stage of the project: study design, data collection and analysis, scientific writing, and dissemination of results. The aim is to foster critical thinking and the application of scientific evidence to clinical practice.

The TFM concludes with a public presentation and defense before an academic committee, and it may lead to the publication of a scientific article in a specialized journal. In this way, students not only strengthen their profile as specialized clinical physiotherapists but also begin or advance their careers in academic and research environments.

The main objective of the Master’s Degree in Respiratory and Cardiac Physiotherapy is to train physiotherapists with a high level of clinical and scientific specialization, capable of intervening across all stages of the care process—from prevention and treatment to the rehabilitation of patients with respiratory and cardiac conditions. The program provides a global, integrated perspective on respiratory and cardiac management, preparing students to work in complex settings such as intensive care units (ICUs), hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and primary care.

In addition, the master’s degree aims to promote research and evidence-based practice, fostering a critical, analytical mindset and a commitment to continuous improvement. Through the development of a longitudinal research project with personalized supervision, students acquire the necessary tools to design, conduct, and communicate scientific work, contributing to the advancement of knowledge in physiotherapy. In this way, the program not only prepares competent and up-to-date professionals but also future leaders and key contributors in the field of respiratory and cardiac physiotherapy.

The master’s degree is aimed at graduates in Physiotherapy who wish to specialize in the respiratory and cardiac field with a clinical, practical, and research-oriented approach. It is particularly suited for professionals interested in deepening their expertise in the care of hospitalized or critically ill patients, respiratory and cardiac rehabilitation, and in developing advanced competencies in research and evidence-based practice.

With this master’s programme, you will develop a set of advanced competencies that will enable you to work safely, rigorously, and with an integrated perspective in the field of respiratory and cardiac physiotherapy. These are the competencies you will acquire throughout the programme:

• Interpret the data obtained from clinical and functional assessment tests, using this information to plan individualized respiratory and cardiac physiotherapy interventions.
• Implement respiratory and cardiac physiotherapy intervention plans that integrate the most up-to-date scientific evidence, adapting to the clinical context and the individual needs of adult and pediatric patients.
• Communicate in a way that ensures treatment comprehension, encourages the patient’s active participation, and adapts language to individual needs while avoiding androcentrism and stereotypes.
• Manage the comprehensive physiotherapeutic care of respiratory, cardiac, and critically ill patients, demonstrating decision-making skills and interdisciplinary collaboration in outpatient, inpatient, and intensive care settings.
• Generate research in the field of respiratory and cardiac physiotherapy, promoting innovation and knowledge transfer.
• Manage autonomous learning and continuous professional development, identifying areas for improvement within the field of respiratory and cardiac physiotherapy.
• Apply professional ethics in interactions with respiratory and cardiac patients, ensuring respect for autonomy, privacy, informed consent, and confidentiality at all stages of treatment or research.
• Apply respiratory and cardiac physiotherapy treatments with an advanced clinical approach, ensuring their appropriateness to the patient’s specific condition and acting with ethical responsibility, gender perspective, equity, and respect for human rights, fostering a person-centered and bias-free care environment.

This master’s degree prepares you to work in hospitals, ICUs, rehabilitation centres, and primary care, as well as to begin a research or academic career in the field of cardiorespiratory physiotherapy. It equips you to become a highly qualified professional ready to lead clinical teams and scientific projects.
