Objective

Students are familiar with the interactional elements required to build up and maintain a therapeutic relationship. Students know that physiotherapists’ basic task is to support people’s wellbeing and
health by promoting their functional ability and mobility in various environments. They are capable of acting in accordance with the principles of national and international professional ethics. Students
are able to explain how the central concepts and models of physiotherapy help to analyse physiotherapeutic activities, their documentation and professional dialogue.
The students acquire the written and oral language skills in the second domestic language that are necessary in their professional field, as required by national legislation (352/2003 8§).
The students are able to communicate in Swedish in professional contexts both in Finland and in the other Nordic countries, taking into account the cultural and linguistic backgrounds of the communication partners.
The students acquire oral and written language and communication skills that are at least at the B1 level as defined in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
During their studies, the students form a positive and realistic view of their language and communicative competence as well as skills and motivation to develop it further.
