Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation is a critical discipline for restoring functional capacity and maximizing quality of life in movement disorders that develop due to injury, disease, or aging processes. In parallel with advancements in medical science, the global need for expert physiotherapists who aim to improve not just life expectancy but the quality of life is increasing day by day.
Structured in alignment with the vision of the World Physiotherapy (WCPT), our program offers advanced competencies that enable physiotherapists to take active roles in primary healthcare and neuromusculoskeletal diagnostic processes. Providing education since the 2017-2018 academic year, the Master’s Program with Thesis in Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation trains academic leaders and specialized clinical professionals capable of conducting evidence-based research activities.
