    Re: German Physiotherapist ---> Master/working in english speaking country?

    Hi,
    a Master in Physio enables you to specialise in a certain area. E.g., there is a Master in Neurological Physio or Musculoskeletal Physio etc.. As a basis for this, you will need a BSc (Bachelor of Science) in Physiotherapy.

    Work: In most English speaking countries you have to be registered as a Physiotherapist to be able to apply for a work visa or similar, which then enables you to go and look for work. Please check their websites for specific application requirements. I believe that they all require some kind of English test and will examine your undergraduate programme. Therefore, all your papers have to be translated into English.
    Great Britain: HPC - Health Professions Council - Apply
    Australia: Physiotherapy Board of Australia - Registration
    Canada: CICIC::Information for foreign-trained physiotherapists > Occupational profiles for selected trades and professions

    Study: I am not sure about requirements for that, but you should be able to find this on the websites as well.

    Osteopathy is indeed a different occupation/ educational pathway.

    where physiotherapy is an actual job and not just an overeducated nothing
    I find your comment rather intriguing, as the German Physio diploma is internationally not neccessarily accepted due to the low level of education standards (if I may say so).
    But good on you for trying to optimise your education!!!!

    Good luck,
    Fyzzio
