Thinking about physiotherapy internationally: Your path into a global healthcare environment

Are you looking to give your physiotherapy training an international focus and develop your skills in a global environment?

Our English-language Bachelor's degree program in Physiotherapy builds upon your completed vocational training in physiotherapy and is open to both national and international applicants with equivalent qualifications. Your prior training will be credited towards the first three semesters, allowing you to directly engage in the scientific development of your therapeutic practice. In an international learning environment with students and faculty from diverse backgrounds, you will learn to critically reflect on physiotherapy methods, apply research findings, and further develop your practice through professional exchange.

The program focuses on connecting evidence-based practice, science, and international developments in healthcare. This will enable you to develop your profile for a modern, interconnected physiotherapy practice. In a globally networked and evolving healthcare system, you will contribute to advancing therapeutic quality and translating scientific knowledge into practice.

Are you eager to take physiotherapy to the next level internationally and bring fresh perspectives to therapeutic practice?
