    I know of a good school in Europe

    Hello Marie!

    Well,

    About your questions, I can add a school for you. I am not sure whether you are German ( I am), so my answers will reflect that cultural background a little.

    It is a physiotherapy school in Amsterdam, and is taking place at a public school (whereas a lot of physiotherapy schools in Germany, for instance, are private).

    The language throughout the course is English, and that needs to be proven beforehand. If you have had a western-european education that allows you to study at a university, that is already quite good.

    It takes three years. Usually, to obtain the Bachelor of Health (whichi s what you will get here), it takes 4 years. BUT the last regular year, which consists of a long internship, is split up into 3 times three months that replace the summer holidays of the other three years. You can do the internship in whatever country you want. It needs some organization though.

    It is in English (even though Dutchy-English, so they will not teach you, but they will learn you).
    People from all over the world participate. All continents, all skin colours, a lot of different age groups.

    I like it, and the level of education is good, a spicy mixture of academics (not as high as in a university) and practical stuff (teachers are experienced). It is intense, and is a challenge. Yet rewarding.

    As for whether being the best, I don't know. Some of our students went to Australia, some to Ireland. You can take a lot out of it, and the degree is of higher value than for instance a private school 3 year program in Germany.

    Hope that helped a little.
    Here's the internet link for it:

    The forum here doesnt allow links, so please remove the space in between the www in the beginning of the link

    Greetings and success and joy for your future.
    Kai

    Re: I know of a good school in Europe

    Hi Kai,

    I am looking for physiotherapy course BSc at the moment. I went to the HVA web, and i do have some questions to ask you.

    About the internship in 4th year, you have to do one in Netherlands ? I only can speak english, do you think the language will be the problem?

    After completed the 4 years course, will i able to join the physiotherapy association in any country?

    There is another college in Amsterdam, it called Saxion university, do you know anything about it?

    The last question, how much it cost to live in Amsterdam.

    Too many questions haha


    Many thanks

    mavis
