Focus areas
The master’s degree programme consists of five module groups: Profession-specific, Research, Interprofessional, Transfer and Master’s thesis. In the Profession-specific module group, we offer you the following focus areas: Musculoskeletal, Neurology, Physiotherapy for pain management, Sport and Professional development.
Theory-practice transfer is important to us, so academic and clinical modules are closely interlinked throughout the degree programme.
