Increase in life expectancy and aging population cause health areas to come to the fore. In addition, as a result of the digitalization of the world, inactivity becomes a problem that affects the lives of all people and causes various physical problems and diseases. Physiotherapy, which includes treatments aimed at restoring functionality that has decreased due to various orthopedic and neurological diseases, injury, trauma or old age, can be counted among the professions of the future.

Students who will graduate from this program have the opportunity to work in all public and private health institutions that have Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation departments, and they can provide necessary professional physical therapy services to all age groups, from newborns to adults and the elderly, under the supervision of doctors and physiotherapists. They can work in  rehabilitation centers, spa-cure centers, private clinics, sports clubs, nursing homes and hydrotherapy units in hotels for health tourism.

Individuals who are interested in physics and biology, who can work with a focus on problem solving, who have strong human relations and communication skills, who are friendly, who can empathize, who have a high sense of responsibility, who are open to innovations, who are prone to teamwork and who are meticulous, can prefer the physiotherapy program.
