From 2025 onward, the education committee of physiotherapy has adopted a new policy: all international students wishing to enter the master's programme of Physiotherapy must first take the bridging programme. This programme is designed to enhance scientific research skills and clinical competencies, ensuring that all international students have the necessary background to successfully begin and complete the master’s degree.
The bridging programme takes one academic year and is taught in English. There is only one intake per academic year (September) and it is a part-time programme. This means that classes are concentrated on two (and occasionally three) days per week. This is illustrated in the model timetable.
Students who pass the bridging programme do not receive a diploma, but a certificate. This certificate gives permission to register for the Master's programme.
If you are admitted to the bridging programme you cannot apply for the Master Mind scholarship. However, you will be able to apply for this scholarship after completing the bridging programme and when enrolling in the Master programme.
