Physiotherapy studies abroad

[Fyzzio]

Hi,
could you please tell us which languages you speak well enough to participate in university studies in other countries.
If it is none - I would suggest Scotland and Ireland, they offer 4 yr BSC Honors degree.

North America's Physical Therapy degree usually excludes cardiorespiratory teaching (because they have Respiratory Technician Training course), so that might be useless if you ever want to work in England - I would clarify with the HCPC or CSP (not sure who is responsible) which universities they accept as equal in training to receive registration in England.

BTW: England has got great universities and excellent degree programmes.
Cheers,
Fyzzio

Thank you Fyzzio,

At the minute I have intermediate Spanish and beginner Dutch. I would be starting university at the start of the 2014 academic year so I have time to learn a great deal more, especially Dutch. However, I am looking for English taught courses abroad rather than courses taught in their native language.

Thank you for the tip of contacting the HCPC or CSP. I did try to contact a few places asking which universities they accept as equal to in training to that of an English university, to which they basically said they don't know.

I have found 2 in The Netherlands:
Physiotherapy programme - Hanzehogeschool Groningen

Programme

I heard from a few sources that The Netherlands is a great place to study Physiotherapy in Europe. I don't know if this is true?

I wanted to stay away from Great Britain through my studies, that's why my goal has always been to find courses in mainland Europe. You'd probably think I'm running away from Britain to do what I want to to (Physiotherapy) in an environment that I feel better in; and you'd be right. I have always wanted to move away from Britain to continue my studies.
