Our testimonials

Jason Tello Aramburú

Graduate

I chose to study the degree course because I always liked the health area and the direct contact with the patient. Thanks to the double degree agreement with CESPU, I had the opportunity to finish my training in Portugal and win the ERASMUS Scholarship, which has allowed me to do an internship in Italy. I have successfully completed my training, now I have job offers in the European Union and I am proud to be a Heredian physiotherapist.
