Master of Science in Physiotherapy

The Master degree programme is designed for physiotherapists seeking personal and professional development and pursuing to take on new roles and duties.
Graduates have advanced skills in self-reflection, critical thinking and analysis, and expert clinical reasoning. They are thus qualified to make evidence-based assessments as well as devise suitable solutions to a broad range of complex clinical challenges and provide accurate, efficient and effective therapies. Graduates will also develop and extend their competence in research and thus generate new clinical knowledge which, in turn, will inform clinical practice.

This programme is designed for physiotherapists who want to further develop their clinical and scientific competence and who wish to qualify for more comprehensive tasks, viz. in consulting roles, or for expert positions in research, training and leadership.
