My second question would be: Where would you like to work after youīve 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 itīs a struggle and will definately take years to be fully established.

If you donīt 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).
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
