180BSc Physiotherapy (taught in English)
The BSc Physiotherapy taught in English aims to train health professionals equipped with the competencies set out in Ministerial Decree of the Ministry of Health dated 14 September 1994, no. 741, and subsequent amendments and additions. The programme’s specific learning objectives are achieved through both theoretical and practical learning in disciplines that underpin the international cultural framework of Physiotherapy. The delivery of module content in English facilitates the integration of graduates into international professional settings. At the end of the programme, the Physiotherapy graduate will have acquired knowledge, skills and relational abilities, with particular reference to professional responsibility, care and rehabilitation, therapeutic education, prevention, management, training/self-training, evidence-based practice, research, communication and interpersonal relations. The programme’s practical objectives are assessed through practical tests involving real patients or simulated clinical scenarios, case study analysis and discussion, and internships at specialised rehabilitation facilities. The relational and communication skills required of physiotherapists to establish effective relationships with patients, caregivers and the professional system are developed through modules in human sciences and psycho-pedagogical disciplines, aimed at fostering listening skills and the ability to manage dialogue with patients and their families. Relational and communication skills are further enhanced through small-group work, simulations, role playing, internship activities and the final examination. Achievement of the intended learning outcomes is assessed through written, oral and practical exams, as well as through evaluation by clinical tutors following a period of clinical internship. These objectives and competencies are attained through a three-year programme awarding 180 ECTS credits, with 60 ECTS credits per academic year and a 75% attendance requirement. The programme includes face-to-face lessons, vocational internships, individual study, workshops, and electives.
