Course Description:

Physiotherapy is taught in a four-year daytime course, training students to be a Bachelor of Physiotherapy. It is the only Bachelor programme of its kind in the North of the Netherlands, so that every year there are more applications than available places. For this reason it is very important to get your relevant information well in advance.

Blocks
The curriculum has been split up into sixteen blocks. Each year has four blocks and in the first eight blocks the various categories of patients occupy a central position. Of each category – varying from neurological to orthopaedic and rheumatological patients - you will study both normal and abnormal anatomy and physiology. Moreover, you will of course study the symptoms you may encounter.
Apart from this, both the psychological aspect of coming to terms with disease and also its psychosocial consequences will get its full share of attention. Theory and practical exercises are both based on the relevant category of patient and their setting.

First year
During the first year (Dutch: propedeuse) preparing the student for his later profession occupies a central position. With the help of various categories of patients, medical-biological and physiotherapeutic subjects pass under review. You will also start studying subjects such as psychology, sociology, psychopathology and communication skills. After your first year, you will get binding advice about the continuation of your studies, based on your actual study results.
