During the first three years or rather six semesters, you complete your apprenticeship at one of our cooperating technical schools (see cooperatiing schools) and simultaneously study at our university beginning on the first day. After three years in this dual-study programme, you achieve your first professional qualification as a state-approved physiotherapist.
Beginning with the 7th semester, you are solely a student at Kiel UAS and complete your study after nine semesters of the regular study period with the Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) in Physiotherapy. Within the study course, in the last few semesters, you start your first professional activities, accompanied by a supervisor.
Why study Physiotherapy?
The overarching qualification goal of the degree is to impart all the necessary skills to enable professional patient care in all healthcare facilities, especially in clinics, medical care centres, rehabilitation facilities and outpatient practices. To this end, the course imparts the scientific fundamentals and job-related skills necessary for professional qualification.
The profile of the course reflects the combination of a broad, reflective scientific and practical focus and a simultaneous exemplary in-depth study required to train professional skills in physiotherapy. The course profile is on the one hand subject-specific and on the other hand aligned with national and international standards and is characterised by both a scientific (biomedical) and social scientific (biopsychosocial) foundation. The course prepares the so-called "reflective practitioner" for new and changing requirements in practice - on the patient - and also enables him or her to further develop and help shape this vocation to a profession.
