Structure of the studies
In accordance with the Universities of Applied Sciences Act, the studies of a Degree Programme consist of basic studies, professional studies, practical training promoting professional skills, free elective studies, and a final project/thesis. The extent of the studies is 60 credits a year.
During the basic studies, the focus is on the foundations of physiotherapy practice and on the development of language and interaction skills. The purpose of the professional studies is to learn to assess and examine functional capacity, to support it and to cure dysfunction by means of physiotherapy. Physiotherapy expertise and entrepreneurial skills are strengthened towards the end of the studies.The purpose of the final thesis is to provide competence in the research and development of physiotherapy.
The curriculum includes five seams permeating through the studies and extending over them. They are based on SeAMK’s reports, studies and strategy, as well as on the national and international recommendations and regulations related to education provided by universities of applied sciences.
- The Information Search seam strengthens the student’s professional and field-specific information search skills throughout the studies.
- The Internationalization seam secures the improvement of the student’s international competencies during their studies. Home internationality is strengthened by utilizing scientific articles and our international partners in our theory studies. Intensive weeks create more opportunities for internationalization at home.
- The studies corresponding to the Entrepreneurship seam help the student understand the central and growing role of entrepreneurship in society.
- The Sustainable Development seam makes the student aware of social responsibility and helps them understand the diversity of sustainable development as a working life skill. Sustainable development is taken into account in different ways throughout the studies (ecological, social, cultural and economic sustainability).
The seam of Career Guidance helps the student recognise their competencies and own strengths. It also includes working life knowledge, job search skills, and lifelong learning.
Students have the opportunity to include multidisciplinary, working life-oriented project studies in their personal curricula (SeAMKPro). The recommended timing for multidisciplinary working life projects is the fifth and sixth semester.
The Degree Programme includes 75 credits. Part of the practical training can be undertaken abroad.
The studies will be completed in the order indicated by the programme structure. Preceding studies must be finished before moving on to the next study modules.
Learning outcomes
The learning outcomes of the Degree Programme in Physiotherapy represent level 6 in the 8-level European Qualification Framework (EQF). According to this framework, the following learning outcomes are relevant to physiotherapists:
-Advanced knowledge of their field of work, involving critical understanding and evaluation of theories, central concepts, methods and principles
-Awareness of the scope and boundaries of the profession and/or discipline
-Advanced skills, demonstrating mastery, ability to apply knowledge, and innovation, required to solve complex and unpredictable problems in a specialised field of work, science or arts.

Profile of the programme
Physiotherapists are experts in the assessment and promotion of clients' mobility and functional capacity. They plan, implement, evaluate and develop their work independently. They collaborate with the medical staff in charge of their clients' treatment and represent their profession in multi-professional teams. The central aim in physiotherapy is to maintain the functional and work capacity of the population as long as possible. The physiotherapists also seek to affect our living and working environment.
The physiotherapists work in hospitals, health centres, research and care institutions, rehabilitation centres and spas, in the occupational health service, in public health and sports organizations, in institutions for the disabled and the elderly, in children's day care centres, in schools and in the municipal provision of physical education services. They may also become independent practitioners.
Generic and subject specifc competences
Competencies are extensive knowledge entities, or combinations of the individual’s knowledge, skills, and attitudes. They describe qualifications, performance potential, and the ability to cope with professional duties.
Common/general competencies are fields of know-how common to different Degree Programmes, but their special characteristics and importance may vary between professions and work assignments. General competencies form the basis for professional activities, cooperation, and the development of expertise. According to Arene’s (Rectors' Conference of Finnish Universities of Applied Sciences) recommendations, general competencies include learning skills, ethical competence, cooperation skills, innovation skills, and internationalization skills. In addition to the above-mentioned competencies, entrepreneurial skills and quality management skills are emphasized in the degree studies of SeAMK as competencies common to all.
Degree programme-specific competencies form the basis for the development of the student’s professional expertise.
Pedagogical approach and learning environment
The pedagogical aim of the physiotherapy education is to combine high-quality teaching with working life. Where applicable, we also combine teaching with research and development activities. Through co-development, we strengthen multidisciplinary activities and work-life orientation. Work life-oriented education motivates students in their studies. Diverse learning environments and new technological applications at SeAMK make it possible to combine theoretical studies with practical situations. In the SeAMK Wellbeing Labs learning environment, working life skills are practiced in multi-professional teams. Real customer situations and assignments will be solved. Learning becomes interesting and concrete. Students’ professional growth is supported on an individual basis throughout their studies.
SeAMK makes use of the recognition of prior learning and studyfication of work as part of the student’s personal study plan.
The curriculum of the degree program defines the content and the objectives of each course, the scope in terms of credits, the principles of study and teaching arrangements, and the required prior learning.The curriculum is built around units that contribute to the development and deepening of a physiotherapist's expertise.
Teaching is implemented as contact and distance teaching, independent studies, and as e-learning.
The courses include small group work, expert lectures, project work and practical training in different learning environments. In the physiotherapy courses, the focus is on work-based courses and theses, as well as on-the-job training.The student learns how to solve problems in the practical, work-based way. Thus, the curriculum integrates individual subjects into broader modules.The emphasis is on producing experiences and knowledge instead of sharing knowledge.
Working life and expertise require knowledge acquisition and processing skills, continuous learning, and the ability to use evidence-based information in practice. The students take responsibility for their learning and commit to goal- and self-directed learning in both theory and practice.
The curriculum has five cross-curricular strands that run through the studies. They are based on SeAMK’s studies, research, and strategy as well as on national and international recommendations and regulations for Universities of Applied Sciences.
The knowledge-acquisition strand strengthens the student’s professional and field-specific knowledge acquisition skills throughout their studies.
The internationalization strand ensures the development of the student’s international competences. Internationalization at home is reinforced by using scientific articles and international partners in theoretical studies. Intensive weeks provide further opportunities for the internationalization at home. The entrepreneurship strand helps students to understand the growing role of entrepreneurship in society. Sustainable development as a strand helps students to become aware of their social responsibility and to understand the diversity of sustainable development as a working life skill. The sustainable development is considered in different ways (ecological, social, cultural and economic sustainability) throughout the studies.Career guidance helps students identify their own skills and strengths. It also covers areas such as job knowledge, job search skills and lifelong learning.
The assessment is carried out in accordance with the degree regulations of SeAMK.
The assessment is used to guide and monitor the student’s achievement of the learning objectives. The assessment criteria are based on the objectives of the course and the assessment criteria are written in the course descriptions. The physiotherapist degree program is developed every semester together with the students during a joint development day. In addition, the students has the opportunity to provide feedback after each course. Student Services, Library and information Services, SeAMK International Education Services and other services help students with their studies.
Specific arrangements for recognition of prior learning (RPL)
The RPL procedure means the identification and recognition of the student’s previously acquired learning. The student has the opportunity to apply for the recognition of their competencies if the competencies correspond to the learning goals of the Degree Programme. The identification process is closely connected with the preparation of the student’s personal curriculum and is updated during personal counselling discussions.
The identification and recognition practices are presented in the RPL Instruction of SeAMK. It specifies how recognition of competencies is applied for, how the application is processed, and how the student is informed of it. The instruction lists the RPL contact persons of each Degree Programme, who counsel students on matters related to the process.
In the assessment of prior learning, for example the following evidence is used:
– certificates on training programmes with similar content and other training programmes
– testimonials and further clarifications by an employer
– interviews of the student
– written and oral exams or reports
– functional or written assignments or other evidence
– presentations, portfolios
The final project/thesis and the Maturity Test cannot be submitted to the RPL procedure.
Work-based learning and work placements
The student’s salaried work during their studies and the competencies achieved through it can be used in order to complete a course. This is referred to as employment-integrated learning, and it can also be related to voluntary work or hobbies. It is essential that the things learnt through working contribute to the attainment of the learning goals of the course. Learning achieved through employment-integrated learning can be verified, for instance, through skills demonstrations and assignments.
Occupational profiles
Physiotherapists are experts in the assessment and promotion of clients' mobility and functional capacity. The physiotherapists work in hospitals, health centres, research and care institutions, rehabilitation centres and spas, in the occupational health service, in public health and sports organizations, in institutions for the disabled and the elderly, in children's day care centres, in schools and in the municipal provision of physical education services. They may also become independent practitioners.
After completing the vocational language studies the student is able to communicate in spoken and written situations related to his field of study. He can search for information and follow the development of his professional field in the target language.
Competencies are extensive knowledge entities, or combinations of the individual’s knowledge, skills, and attitudes. They describe qualifications, performance potential, and the ability to cope with professional duties.Common/general competencies are fields of know-how common to different Degree Programmes, but their special characteristics and importance may vary between professions and work assignments.
