Bachelor in Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation

Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation is a health sciences program that prepares students to assess and treat movement disorders, injuries, and physical impairments across the lifespan. Coursework typically includes human anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, kinesiology, and therapeutic exercise, alongside clinical training in techniques such as manual therapy, electrotherapy, and rehabilitation planning. Students learn to work with patients recovering from orthopedic injuries, neurological conditions, sports injuries, and post-surgical rehabilitation needs. The program combines theoretical study with supervised clinical practice, allowing students to apply classroom knowledge in real patient care settings. Graduates typically pursue careers as physiotherapists in hospitals, rehabilitation centers, sports clubs, and private clinics, or continue into graduate study in physical therapy specializations. At Istanbul Kent University in Istanbul, Turkey, this program is taught in English over four years and is offered by a private university. The curriculum is structured to build from foundational biomedical sciences in the early years toward clinical practicum and specialized rehabilitation techniques later in the program. Being located in Istanbul gives students access to a large network of hospitals and clinical partners across the city, supporting practical training opportunities. Over the four years of study, students develop both the scientific knowledge and hands-on clinical skills needed to support patient recovery and long-term physical function, positioning them for licensure and employment in the physiotherapy field after graduation.
