With brain, hands and heart – learning physiotherapy in SAMK
For many years physiotherapy education has been the most popular programme among applicants in SAMK. This year over 600 applicants were registered, and for almost 250 applicants it was their first choice, which is more than 12 times the intake we have. In Finland the degree programme in physiotherapy is offered in 15 universities of applied sciences and SAMK was the fourth most popular choice among them. In addition to physiotherapy education in Finnish, we also have a physiotherapy programme in English.
The core of the physiotherapist’s daily work consists of limitations in functioning and mobility as well as their prevention and rehabilitation through different therapy interventions.
