Detailed description of the degree programme
Our Bachelor programme in Therapy and Public Health Management - Speech Therapy or Physiotherapy is a dual programme that includes an apprenticeship. The programme was developed jointly by the technical schools of the University Hospital Münster (UKM) and Münster University of Applied Sciences. We specifically link academic education with practical training. In this way, theory and practice are rolled into one in your degree programme. What makes these two therapeutic professions so interesting and unique?
Speech Therapy: Communication is our life: language, speech, voice, swallowing – these skills we use to engage in exchange with the world are taken for granted. University trained speech therapists are specialists in language, speech, breathing, voice, listening, swallowing, verbal and non-verbal communication and other related areas. Speech therapists promote linguistic development in children. They examine and treat people of all ages who have language, speech, voice and swallowing disorders. Working hand in hand with the patient, the aim is to promote the patient’s communication skills and quality of life, encouraging health and well-being.
Physiotherapy: Life is movement. University trained physiotherapists are specialists in human movement. They understand movement as a complex event with a wide spectrum: from the molecular micro level of an organism to the macro level in the sense of a person’s activities and participation in social life. Working hand in hand with the patient, they use movement as a therapeutic means. The aim is to improve the patient’s performance and quality of life, encouraging health and well-being.
The course content is mutually recognised for the state examination as well as for the Bachelor’s degree. Over four academic years, you will therefore gain two qualifications: state recognition as a speech therapist or physiotherapist and a Bachelor’s degree in Therapy and Public Health Management.
