Programme Profile
The B.Sc. Applied Therapy Science degree programme is aimed at (prospective) therapists in the fields of occupational therapy, speech therapy and physiotherapy who want to combine their professional therapy training with a scientific degree.
Students become qualified for new complex tasks in health care and to take over management, consulting or teaching positions. The degree programme combines the necessary skills and knowledge for evidence-based practice, including reading and understanding complex scientific texts and study reports.
The bachelor's programme opens up a variety of professional opportunities and teaches important skills that are needed in an increasingly academized and evidence-based world of therapy.
“Science serves practice and should lead to an optimal supply of patients. The skills we teach enable graduates to work in an evidence-based manner.”
