BA/BS in Kinesiologia

The Kinesiology program prepares students to assess, treat and rehabilitate people with movement and physical function problems. Coursework covers human anatomy, physiology, biomechanics and the clinical methods used in therapy and recovery. Students train on campus in República, La Serena, Rancagua and Temuco. The program includes supervised clinical practice, where students apply exercise prescription, manual techniques and rehabilitation protocols with real patients under the guidance of experienced professionals. Students also complete supervised clinical placements that expose them to a range of patient profiles and care settings. Assessment combines written examinations, practical evaluations and clinical reports. Graduates can work in hospitals, clinics, sports centres, occupational health units and private rehabilitation practices. The profession also suits those interested in sports performance, geriatric care and community health.
