Mobility and functionality are indispensable for people. Movement restrictions, e.g. due to accidents, illness or as a result of chronic stress at work, can reduce the quality of life enormously. Physiotherapy can do a lot to give people back their freedom of movement and pain.
Working with and on people is the focus of this degree programme, which is characterised by a good supervision situation and teaching in small groups. The teachers use a holistic approach to teach the preservation, promotion, optimisation and regeneration of the physical and mental resilience of patients. The main areas of study are biomedical and physiotherapeutic basics, physiotherapeutic techniques and physiotherapeutic processes in all medical disciplines.
With the Bachelor's degree programme in Physiotherapy, students acquire the theoretical and practical prerequisites for the independent performance of physiotherapy. Graduates possess professional, social-communicative competences and personal competences that are indispensable for working with and on people. Furthermore, the necessary scientific competences are taught, which enable evidence-based professional action.
Professional internships take place from the second semester onwards, in which students are familiarised with a wide range of physiotherapeutic measures at an early stage. In this way, students are optimally prepared for independent physiotherapeutic action

Starting in the winter semester of 2026, students from third countries (non-EU/EEA countries) will be charged a tuition fee of € 500 per semester. Further information.
The physiotherapy degree program is modular in structure and also offers the opportunity to specialize in elective subjects according to personal preferences. With a variety of interdisciplinary project work and professional internships, students are familiarized with the demands of everyday professional life at an early stage. The physiotherapy program uses state-of-the-art diagnostic, therapeutic, and training equipment in courses and hands-on projects. These instruments can be used to conduct screenings on balance & fall risk, posture weaknesses, strength deficits, and much more, as well as medical training therapy.
Physiotherapists have a large number of career opportunities open to them, as they have very good job market prospects due to their studies as experts in movement analysis and therapy. They find attractive jobs in numerous health care institutions such as public and private hospitals, rehabilitation centers, health promotion and preventive health care institutions, senior citizens and nursing homes. For many graduates, working in private practice is a desirable goal.

Physiotherapeut*innen haben durch ihre Ausbildung sehr gute Arbeitsmarktchancen in der Prävention, Akut- und Langzeitmedizin und können in vielen Bereichen und Institutionen tätig sein:
Die Absolvent*innen des Studienganges Physiotherapie sind berechtigt, gemäß Paragraph § 19 Bundesgesetz über die gehobenen medizinisch-therapeutisch-diagnostischen Gesundheitsberufe (MTD-Gesetz 2024 – MTDG) BGBl. I Nr. 100/2024 idgF, die Berufsbezeichnung „Physiotherapeutin“ – „Physiotherapeut“ zu führen.
Masterstudiengänge sind in fachspezifischen Bereichen der Physiotherapie, in den Gesundheitswissenschaften (auch interdisziplinär) und auch anderen Bereichen (je nach entsprechenden Zugangsvoraussetzungen der anbietenden Institutionen) gemäß § 6 FHStG (4) möglich.
Die Lehrenden am Studiengang Physiotherapie suchen ständig nach Möglichkeiten, um ihre Studierenden für das Thema „planetare und menschliche Gesundheit" zu sensibilisieren. Ein Ansatzpunkt ist das Nordic Walking, das im Rahmen einer Lehrveranstaltung theoretisch und praktisch vermittelt wird, um die Studierenden die Natur erleben zu lassen. Durch die Naturreflexion soll die bewusste Wahrnehmung der Umgebung gefördert werden.
In einer Vorlesung zur Physiologie wurde ein Gastvortrag zum Thema „Von Wundheilungsstörungen zu Planetary Health" gehalten, der sich mit den Zusammenhängen der pflanzlichen Ernährung auf die Wundheilungsphasen befasst und die positiven Auswirkungen auf die planetaren Ressourcen aufzeigt.
Es sind weitere Schritte zur Integration der SDGs und Umwelt-Physiotherapie ins Curriculum geplant.

Der Studiengang Physiotherapie der FH Kärnten ist die erste teilnehmende Lehrinstitution aus Österreich, die sich an dieser Agenda beteiligt.
Ein globaler Aufruf zum Handeln: Um sicherzustellen, dass alle Schüler*innen und Studierenden, welche die Ausbildung zum Physiotherapeuten im Jahr 2020 oder später beginnen, von der Beziehung zwischen Umwelt, Gesundheit und Funktionsweise des Menschen und wie diese Teil der Physiotherapie ist innerhalb Ihrer Ausbildung lernen. Angesichts der Tatsache, dass Einstiegsprogramme in aller Welt in der Regel etwa vier Jahre dauern, ist die EPT Agenda 2023 als Vierjahresplan festgelegt worden. Die Hoffnung damit ist, dass dies physiotherapeutischen Bildungseirichtungen genügend Zeit gibt alle Schüler die ihre Ausbildung im Jahr 2020 begonnen haben mit entsprechenden Änderungen zu erreichen.
Jede Schule oder Universität kann frei entscheiden, mit welchen Inhalten sie arbeiten möchte und welche Lehransätze sie verfolgen möchte. In der Agenda werden mehrere Möglichkeiten aufgezeigt, mit der Hoffnung dass dadurch eine Vielfalt von Inhalten und Ansätzen hervorgebracht wird, welche die kulturellen, sozialen und ökologischen Kontexte der verschiedenen Schulen bzw. Institutionen widerspiegelt.
