Likes:
- I was interested to do a course in Netherland because my brother lives there and a course in musculoskeletal physiotherapy. This was the only course fulfilling my requirements. null
- Vrije Universiteit English translation is free University. It was a free University in terms of discipline. We could drink or eat anything during classes. No compulsion on attendance. We can wear shorts. We can move in and move out anytime during class. The canteen had good food options as well. null
Dislikes:
- That it doesn't have a clinical master program in physiotherapy. Apart from that I liked everything about the university. Also expensive for international students but less expensive than UK and USA. Moreover, you will enjoy studying at the university. null
Placement
It is difficult to get a job after the course. It's a lot of struggle and then we are short of visa.
Internship
It was not possible to do an internship with this course. Because it was an extensive course which was supposed to be finished in one year. Plus University did not provide any such opportunity. And to do an internship in physiotherapy needs collaboration with university which this course did not provide as it was research based. Working as a research assistant was also not possible because Dutch language was a must.
