Contents of the study program

Our primary qualifying Bachelor's degree program combines professional training in physiotherapy with a university degree. You will attend courses in the areas of physiotherapy fundamentals, human sciences, social sciences and scientific theory and practice. Individual specializations in the fields of neurology, paediatrics and geriatrics are also possible. In addition, graduates gain essential experience in the field of physiotherapy professional practice in seven medical specialties: Neurology, Surgery, Internal Medicine, Orthopedics, Pediatrics, Gynecology and Psychiatry.

One of the highlights is the interprofessional teaching in the anatomy preparation room, where students teach and learn together with other students from the medical section using specimens from body donors.
