At the start of their bachelor's program in physiotherapy and rehabilitation, students share their general training in exact and biomedical sciences with students in the bachelor's program in physical education. The student who would like to obtain both diplomas will more easily achieve this dual training by starting with training in physical education.
The bachelor's program in physiotherapy includes 180 credits, divided into three annual blocks.
The first annual block of the bachelor's program offers basic training in exact and biomedical sciences (39 credits) and in human sciences (8 credits). This first annual block also already includes certain courses more specific to physiotherapy (13 credits).
The second annual block of the bachelor's program is oriented towards theoretical and practical courses specific to physiotherapy (35 credits), supplemented by training in exact and biomedical sciences (15 credits), training in motor skills (6 credits) and training in languages - English (4 credits).
In the third annual block, students complete a three-month internship (21 credits) during the first semester. At the same time, students use their internship experiences during internship support seminars. In the second semester, they continue their theoretical and practical training specific to physiotherapy (23 credits), training in exact and biomedical sciences (10 credits), training in languages – English or Dutch (3 credits). Students carry out the first steps for their Master's thesis. An elective specialization course (3 credits) completes the program.
