Course Content

The student does an internship in a non-clinical setting spread over 2 semesters, depending on the time frame of the internship site. In addition to the hours of observation, supervision and clinical internship in the bachelor program and the in-depth clinical internships in 1MARE (hospital, primary kine practice, rehabilitation center, WZC, ...), the students are immersed in the broader (non-clinical) field of work of the physiotherapist in this part of the program.

Within this expansive internship, students can develop their competencies more broadly, for example with a focus on inclusion, management, research, education, global citizenship and diversity (international/intercultural component), sustainability, development contexts/global health, ethics and policy ...

Additional info

The link to the elective from 1 MARE and therefore development of thematic orientations (4 ECTS internship + 3 ECTS elective) form the theoretical framework for this internship and are thus very close to the content of the internship.
