Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy is a four year programme that prepares you to assess and treat patients with temporary or long-term physical injuries, movement disorders or disabilities. The aim is to achieve the highest possible degree of recovery, activity, participation and quality of life. Graduates may work independently or as a member of a health care team, as a Physiotherapist. You will learn how to treat patients just like a physiotherapist would, throughout the curriculum. You learn basic skills such as physical assessment, treatment and communication skills. These different skills are integrated into case studies, which are an important part of the programme. You will be working on these case studies from the start of the programme and you will have to find the right solutions to the problems of the patients involved. This is called problem-based learning (PBL).
