Descriptions
The curriculum in the degree programme for Physiotherapy consists of 12 modules, each with a specific theme. Two 15 ECTC credit modules are elective. The requirements for expertise for each module listed in the curriculum help students to set goals for their studies. The requirements for expertise also help the students to evaluate the competence they already have and their future learning. Every students’ learning process starts with the creation of a personal study plan (HOPS). The personal study plan is supported by the recognition of prior competence (AHOT) and flexible individual implementation of studies. The tutors, student counsellors, other teachers and staff support the student's progress in his/her studies.

Specifically, the foundation of the curriculum, and thus the related competences relies internationally on ‘The Competence Chart of the European Network of Physiotherapy in Higher Education’ and ‘World Confederation for Physical Therapy’.
Nationally,the curriculum is based on the report of the Finnish Ministry of Education on higher education and health care as well as on the reports of the Finnish Association of Physiotherapists (FAP) on physiotherapists’ profession.

programme, supported by other teachers in Metropolia, physiotherapy students and partners from the work environment. Also, members of the joint committee of the physiotherapy degree
