The Physiotherapy Program offers an integrated structure of theoretical and practical training. Throughout the program, students pursue courses in fundamental biomedical sciences such as anatomy, physiology, and functional anatomy of the musculoskeletal system, alongside professional practice courses in physical modalities, electrotherapy, hydrotherapy and balneotherapy, basic massage techniques, and fundamental exercise knowledge. In the second year, clinical competence is deepened through courses on technician approaches in neurological diseases and orthopedic and rheumatological diseases. Applications conducted in real healthcare settings within Clinical Practice I and II reinforce students' professional skills and prepare them for the workforce. The program supports students' professional competencies in various clinical areas with a wide range of elective courses.
