Career opportunities

Impairments of human movement by one-sided and longer strain increase the need for well-trained physiotherapists. You will work either as a staff member or be self-employed, alone or in interdisciplinary teams together with doctors and experts from other specialist areas. The degree course is also a solid basis from which to take on leadership or managerial roles, or to work in teaching or research after gaining vocational experience and further training.
