Bachelor's programme

The aim of physiotherapy is to help people recover from physical discomfort and ailments. If you are interested in helping others and are prepared to work hard, then the European School of Physiotherapy (ESP, bachelor's programme) may be the right choice for you. The European School of Physiotherapy (ESP) offers an intense, three-year Bachelor's degree programme to students from all over the world. Our programme is specially designed for excellent students who wish to complete their studies in a shorter time.

Major-minor structure and exchange

All programmes within the AUAS work with the major-minor structure. Of the 240 EC that you need to graduate, you get 210 with the major, the fixed component of your study programme. The minor of 30 credits is the compulsory elective course within your degree programme. You can fill the minor space of 30 EC with one or more minors or minor modules.

The Faculty of Health offers two English minors:

  • Global Health (30 ECTS or 15 ECTS)
  • Sports Physical Therapy (30 ECTS)

Information about these programmes, which are also offered to incoming exchange students, is available on the Exchange section of our website.
