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

[physiogirl76]

Hi there,

Fyzzio already made a valid point - how good is your German? Obviously, programmes in Germany are taught in German so good language skills are a must.
My second question would be: Where would you like to work after you´ve graduated? It would make sense to complete your degree in the country where you intend to work later on as the registration process for physiotherapists is a pain if you want to work overseas....

In general, I would say that programmes in english speaking countries (e.g. Australia, USA, UK, NZ etc) exceed the standards in Germany, simply because these are academic degrees. Germany is slowly getting on track with regards to introducing entry-level Bachelor degrees but it´s a struggle and will definately take years to be fully established.

If you don´t intend to settle in Germany and pursue an international career, I would honestly study in Australia, the UK or even the Netherlands (there are a few programmes which are taught in English e.g. in Amsterdam).

Hello,
I have a B.Ed in Physical Education but i always wanted to study Physical Therapy in the sport field and for the disables since am an athlete, so am looking for an upgrade and advice from who is already in the working field and studied in Germany.
SO I have a question regarding studying Physiotherapy in Germany comparing to the USA and Australia. SO is studying Physiotherapy good in Germany as a curriculum and accreditation comparing to the USA DPT???
Please Help

In Germany any programme will be presented entirely in German - how good are your German language skills?

Hi,
Am looking for an international career because i want very much see the world and gain experience in the field on the way My interest is in either of these countries: Germany, USA or Australia. But USA is VERY expensive in terms finishing the DPT, Germany not so much expensive and am going to take a M.Sc in Prevention and Rehabilitation in Leipzig Uni ( http://www.zv.uni-leipzig.de/en/study/study-opportunities/study-programmes/studiendetail.html?ifab_id=238 ) any how but am thinking maybe after or before the PT degree, and Australia i know nothing about except that is the programs they offer are very very good.

And maybe i will think about New Zealand if i got any recommendations.

Thank you
