The Bachelor's degree program aims to train competent physiotherapists who apply the latest scientific findings in their work with patients and clients. This course combines sound scientific knowledge with practical training and innovative digital teaching methods to prepare you for work in rehabilitation, prevention, and health promotion. Graduates have a wide range of applications in all medical and preventative areas, thanks to a high proportion of practical training throughout the program.
Students study various aspects of human health, rehabilitation techniques, and preventative measures. The curriculum emphasizes the application of scientific theories to real-world patient scenarios.
The program spans six semesters, integrating theoretical courses with practical internships in healthcare settings. Students are required to complete numerous practical training sessions and a final thesis in their last semester.
Graduates gain competencies in rehabilitation techniques, patient communication, and health education. They are prepared to work both independently and collaboratively within healthcare teams.

Third-country (non-EU/EEA) applicants generally need to have their prior qualifications legalised and translated for the admission application. Exact rules depend on the country that issued each document — always confirm with the university's admissions office.
Program-specific items — a CV, letter of motivation, an entrance exam (e.g. GMAT, GRE, SAT) or a portfolio — vary by degree. Check this program's requirements above and its official page.
The level of legalisation your certificates need depends on your country of origin:
Apostille
If your country is part of the Hague Apostille Convention, an Apostille from the competent authority of the issuing country is sufficient.
No legalisation
A small number of countries have a bilateral agreement with Austria and need no further legalisation.
Full diplomatic legalisation
For all other countries: the full chain — pre-certification by the issuing country's authorities (e.g. Ministry of Education and Ministry of Foreign Affairs), then legalisation by the competent Austrian representation (embassy/consulate).
Translations are usually done after legalisation. Check the required order with the issuing authorities and the Austrian representation.
After admission: proof of sufficient funds, health insurance and the student residence permit are part of the visa process — not university admission. We cover those in the guides.
