- Teaching and learning outcomes
Applicants from a foreign university demonstrate comparable competencies acquired at the foreign university in accordance with the application requirements for applicants who have successfully completed training as a physical therapist at a German vocational school.

Methodological competence is a component of each of the aforementioned capability areas.

It includes qualities such as independence, critical faculties, self-confidence, reliability, sense of responsibility and duty. It also includes, in particular, the development of well thought-out values and self-determined commitment to values.
- Social competence refers to the readiness and ability to live and shape social relationships, to grasp and understand attitudes and tensions, and to engage and communicate with others rationally and responsibly. This includes in particular the development of social responsibility and solidarity.
- Methodological competence is a component of both professional competence and personal and social competence. Methodological competence refers to the willingness and ability to proceed in a targeted, planned manner when dealing with tasks and problems.
