Bachelor in Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation

Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation is the discipline that studies how to restore movement and physical function following injury, illness, or disability. Coursework typically covers anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, kinesiology, therapeutic exercise, and rehabilitation methods for orthopedic, neurological, and cardiopulmonary conditions, alongside supervised clinical practice in hospital and rehabilitation settings. Students learn to assess physical impairments, design treatment and exercise programs, and apply manual therapy and rehabilitation techniques under clinical supervision. Graduates commonly work as physiotherapists in hospitals, rehabilitation centers, sports medicine clinics, and private practice, supporting patients recovering from surgery, injury, or chronic conditions. This bachelor's program is offered at Haliç University in İstanbul, Turkey, and is taught entirely in English over a duration of 4 years. İstanbul's extensive hospital and clinical network provides students with varied settings for clinical placements central to physiotherapy training. English-medium instruction supports this field, since physiotherapy research and many rehabilitation protocols are documented and shared internationally in English. Over the four years, the program generally moves from foundational anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics courses toward supervised clinical practice, building the hands-on assessment and treatment skills required of a physiotherapy graduate.
