Laurea in Scienze in Fisioterapia

The combination of theory and practical experience to success

In view of the challenges posed by demographic changes and new social structural requirements, the healthcare system must continue developing. One consequence of these changes is the increasing demand for employees trained in scientific as well as economic aspects of many areas of healthcare.

Already for quite some time physiotherapy career has been one area affected by this change. In the last few years, there has been a large and growing potential for physiotherapists having a Bachelor of Science (B. Sc.) degree to operate in training organizations of inpatient care and rehabilitation.

The quality of our teaching has made the Ortenau School of Physiotherapy into an internationally renowned and accredited training centre. Supported by a team of experienced teaching staff comprising university professors, specialist doctors and physiotherapists, our students spend three years intensively studying every detail of the various interdisciplinary, theoretical and practical aspects of the profession.

The Ortenau School of Physiotherapy cooperates with hospitals across Germany, France (Alsace in particular) and Switzerland. Our location in South Baden, close to the French and Swiss borders, allows us to nurture our professional relationships with colleagues from these establishments, and collaborate closely with our partner school in neighbouring Strasbourg. Our students benefit from the way in which we interact with our neighbours, and from our proximity to excellent centres of research such as Freiburg, Karlsruhe and Strasbourg.
