Bachelor in Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation

Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation is concerned with restoring and maintaining physical function and mobility for patients affected by injury, illness, surgery, or disability. A program in this field typically covers anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, kinesiology, and neuroscience, alongside clinical subjects such as orthopedic rehabilitation, neurological rehabilitation, cardiopulmonary physiotherapy, and sports injury management. Clinical placements give students supervised, hands-on experience with patient assessment, treatment planning, and manual therapy and exercise-based intervention techniques. Graduates typically work as physiotherapists in hospitals, rehabilitation centers, sports medicine clinics, or private practice, with career paths also extending into specialized areas such as pediatric rehabilitation, geriatric care, or sports performance. This 4 years bachelor's program is delivered in English at Biruni University in İstanbul, Turkey, allowing international students to pursue the qualification without requiring Turkish language proficiency. Biruni University's location in İstanbul offers access to clinical and hospital partners used for practical training throughout the degree. Over four years, students typically progress from foundational anatomy and physiology courses into increasingly clinical, hands-on coursework, culminating in supervised clinical placements that build the practical skills expected of a licensed physiotherapist. Students evaluating physiotherapy programs abroad commonly weigh the extent of clinical placement hours, the language of instruction, and the recognition of the qualification in their target country of practice.
