Quality assurance

The programme has a strong and dynamic team of lecturers and educational support staff who have shown great flexibility in dealing with the challenges they face. The programme consults regularly with student representatives. They want to further formalize the student participation by increasing the number of student representatives in consultative bodies.

The programme is characterized by the early introduction of skills training into the curriculum. Not only physiotherapeutic technical skills are taught. Students also learn communication and social skills with an eye for diversity and multidisciplinarity. Master students are deployed as tutors to help bachelor students by practicing certain techniques. Through the internships students get to know the professional field. The central point of contact regarding the internships, both for the mentors and for the students, is a great asset. The programme wants to make the evaluation of the internships more transparent and explicit.

The programme is well aware of the presence of diversity, both among their students and in the professional field. They’re going to define specific activities and competences regarding diversity. Study career coaching is a strength of the programme, especially the personal approach with coaches and (individual) feedback. 

With regard to technology in health care, the programme also wants to formulate competences. In collaboration with the professional field, they want to enable students to gain practical experience with these new technologies.
