The academic community gathered this Friday in the emblematic Paranimf Hall to celebrate the culmination of the university journey of the 2022–2026 cohort of the International Physiotherapy Degree. After four years of intensive training, the new graduates received their professional diplomas in a ceremony filled with emotion.
The event was opened by the Rector of the University of Barcelona, Prof. Joan Guàrdia Olmos, who welcomed attendees and introduced the ceremony. His opening remarks were followed by speeches from Dr. Pilar Marqués, the Rector’s Delegate for UdG-affiliated centers; Dr. Gerard Muñoz, Director of the Physiotherapy Degree; and Eduard Arnau, Head of Studies at ENTI-UB. As members of the presidential board, they praised the perseverance, commitment, and dedication demonstrated by the 2022–2026 cohort and encouraged the graduates to enter the professional world with the same determination and ambition they had shown throughout their university studies. Student representatives also addressed the audience, sharing their reflections on their academic experience and the years they spent together.
The speeches were followed by the diploma presentation, the most celebrated moment of the ceremony. Afterwards, special recognition was given to the student with the highest academic achievement of the 2024–2025 academic year, Amélie Berthe de Pommery. Finally, Rector Prof. Joan Guàrdia Olmos returned to the podium to formally close the academic ceremony before the traditional performance of the university anthem, Gaudeamus Igitur, resonated throughout the hall.
