About

The Master of Rehabilitation Sciences and Physiotherapy at the University of Antwerp offers evidence-based clinical education of rehabilitation in combination with comprehensive training in scientific research. 

Overview

Active and student-centred learning, a broad mixture of teaching and examination methods, a Master’s thesis, and clinical internships are the cornerstones of this unique programme. 

As a  graduate of Master of Rehabilitation Sciences and Physiotherapy at the University of Antwerp you will have the necessary practical skills and theoretical knowledge to start a professional career as a physiotherapy practitioner and/or scientific scholar.

Key Facts

  • Hands-on and academic. Your training as a professional healthcare provider and healthcare manager goes hand in hand with an academic approach. In addition to clinical traineeships and practical lessons, scientific research is predominant.
  • Inspiring clinical internships. Gain hands-on experience as an intern in different clinical locations in Antwerp and its periphery. An internship abroad is also possible.  
  • International exposure. The classrooms are diverse and international. You will work with students from all over the world, as well as with local students.  
  • Evidence based learning. Scientifically based knowledge and insights are the foundation of your studies. The cross-fertilization of subject-specific skills with clinical input makes you a versatile professional.
  • Green campus and the city within reach. Your classes are held on Campus Drie Eiken, located in the green outskirts of Antwerp. You will have lectures in large, modern auditoriums and practice your skills in the well-equipped practical rooms.

Bridging Programme

Students with a prior degree outside Belgium who wish to pursue the Master of Rehabilitation Sciences and Physiotherapy must first complete a mandatory Bridging Programme (45 ECTS). This essential preparatory year is specifically designed to strengthen scientific research abilities and clinical skills — providing the solid foundation needed to succeed in the master’s programme. The programme is designed to bring a very diverse group of international physiotherapy students to the same level. You will not only have the opportunity to brush up on your scientific, anatomical, and physiotherapeutic knowledge, but also to get acquainted with our teaching methods, our educational system, and to learn from fellow students from all over the world. Finally, the aim of this program is to help international students integrate more effectively into our society and on campus, thanks to its part-time structure and an integrated basic Dutch course.​The Bridging Programme is delivered in English over one academic year and is offered on a part-time basis, with classes scheduled on two - and occasionally three - days per week. There is one intake each year, beginning in September.Upon successful completion of the Bridging Programme, students are eligible to enroll in the two-year Master’s programme.
