Who better to tell you about the courses and your options after graduation than the students who followed the programme: 

• Lorenzo Atta | Manual therapist 
  
  "The expertise of the faculty, the high level of the courses, and the opportunity to engage with colleagues from all over the world made me choose this master's programme. Mixed learning modalities, both online and in-person, allowed me to profitably pursue my study and work. Last but not least, the hands-on dissection workshops were something invaluable to gain an in-depth knowledge of human anatomy and to translate it into the care of patients in my everyday practice."
  
   
• Matteo Bianchi | Manuel therapist
  
  "The international Manual Therapy programme is a great opportunity to prove your knowledge in an international context. The teachers are very skilled professionals and the courses are thaught into detail about the subject. In my opinion, the anatomy dissection course is was the best one of the programme since it  combined theoretical notions and practical skills. It really helped to bring the theory to the clinical setting. Moreover the chance to network with students from different countries and backgrounds brought interesting cultural aspects to the programme."
