Bachelor in Physiotherapy

This bachelor's specialisation in Physiotherapy at the Katowice School of Economics runs three years, across six semesters, taught in English with annual tuition of 3500 EUR, at the school's campus in Katowice, Poland. The aim of the programme is to educate physical therapists with both broad theoretical knowledge and practical skills so they can carry out the treatments commonly used within medical rehabilitation. The educational programme centres on building complete medical knowledge of physical therapy in the area of therapeutic kinesis, or medical training, and physiotherapy techniques including heliotherapy, laser therapy, hydrotherapy, electrotherapy, and magneto therapy, applied across medical divisions such as orthopaedics, neurology, rheumatology, cardiology, and gynaecology and obstetrics. A substantial share of the course is devoted to practical learning, covering specific methods such as PNF, the Bobath concept, manual therapy, and other forms of medical massage. Students who complete the programme are prepared to work across a range of medical environments, from hospitals and rehabilitation clinics to private physiotherapy practices and sports medicine settings. Physiotherapy as a field addresses the restoration of movement and physical function following injury, surgery, or illness, and increasingly overlaps with sports science, neurology, and geriatric care as populations age and demand for rehabilitation services grows. Graduates of bachelor's-level physiotherapy programmes typically pursue clinical roles as physical therapists or continue into master's study to expand their scope of practice. Based in Katowice, one of the larger cities in southern Poland, the school offers this English-medium track to attract students from outside Poland seeking a healthcare qualification recognised for its combination of classroom instruction and applied clinical technique.
