Programme structure

The detailed requirements for teaching and studies, as well as the detailed regulations for training are laid down in the curriculum. The curriculum comprises compulsory, compulsory elective and elective subjects. A compulsory subject is one the completion of which is prescribed for everyone concerned in the programme. To complete an elective subject, students can choose from a set of subjects listed by the institution (especially specializations in a programme or subjects requiring special differentiated knowledge, degree thesis.)

A credit point (study point) is a unit of measure of average total student coursework workload needed to complete a subject (coursework unit). Credits can only be awarded for the subjects which are evaluated on a five or three-point grading system. The credit point value is independent of the
mark obtained, but the precondition of validating it is fulfilment of the conditions of this present set of rules, by fulfilling the requirements for a particular subject at least at pass level, or in the case of a 3-point grading scale at least at satisfactory level.

One credit point corresponds to fulfilment of 30 working hours of student workload. Student work includes both the hours spent at a lesson (contact hours) and the individual work (individual hours).

Career opportunities

In a variety of healthcare settings including hospitals, rehabilitation and community health centers, private practice, industrial clinics and specialist facilities. Qualified master physiotherapists may also work in education as a clinical supervisor and researcher.
