The Bachelor's degree program in Physiotherapy focuses on the theoretical and practical foundations for independent physiotherapy practice. Graduates gain essential professional, social, and scientific competences necessary for working effectively with patients. The curriculum includes essential biomedical knowledge and physiotherapeutic techniques, preparing students for various therapeutic roles without hindrance.
The study encompasses various health-related topics focusing on anatomy, physiology, therapeutic techniques, and clinical practice. Students engage in hands-on learning and apply theoretical knowledge in real-world settings, emphasizing rehabilitation and movement science.
The program is organized over six semesters, combining lectures, practical workshops, and clinical internships. A culminating bachelor's thesis and practical fieldwork placements are integral components of the curriculum.
Graduates will be equipped with a comprehensive understanding of physiotherapy practices, patient management, and the ability to operate within interdisciplinary teams in healthcare. They will also develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills necessary for evidence-based practice.

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.
