Overview

Walking, lifting things, participating in sporting activities – these are all things that you may do every day without thinking about it.

Usually, you’ll only visit a physiotherapist if you have suffered an injury, if you’re troubled by a hernia, or if you’re experiencing pain while walking. A physiotherapist helps people to move without pain and investigates how you may be able to prevent any further complaints from occurring in the future.

Why study Physiotherapy at Fontys University of Applied Sciences?

We offer a good balance between practical and theoretical study with a strong emphasis on practical work.

The classes you study in are small, which provides a supportive and motivating learning environment.

We work with real patients so you can interview, assess, and practice on them.

The University has excellent facilities for sport activities. The sports centre opposite the Fontys building offers a wide variety of activities.

Programme Structure

Primarily during the first year, you’ll receive a great deal of study supervision. You’ll learn how to work independently, plan your study schedule, and take responsibility.

The first year will be dedicated to laying the foundations for the remainder of your course programme. Both theory (including subjects such as Anatomy and Physiology) as well as practical skills will be covered.
