Academic Admission

To be admitted in the programme of Physiotherapy, a degree is required from a recognised Institution of Secondary Education (high school diploma) with a minimum score of 75%, or 15 out of 20, and 70%, or 14 out of 20, in Physics and Biology courses or a high school diploma 15 out of 20 and GCE A ‘Level (or IAL) in Physics and Biology with grade B.

Candidates who do not meet the above requirements will only be accepted after successful completion of Foundation Courses in Physics, English, and Biology.

Where interested students are graduates of other related undergraduate disciplines, e.g. Nursing, Occupational Therapy, Sport Science, they will be admitted on a case-by-case basis in the first year. These students will be examined on a case-by-case basis for course recognition.

Student transfer from another university

Students can join the program via transfer from another university by submitting a credit scoring application form from the Department of Academic Affairs along with all supporting documents (i.e. official grades, course descriptions, college lists, etc.). Students can benefit by transferring credit points obtained from other accredited Colleges / Universities (note that only courses with a 60% or 6 out of 10 of successful grade will be transferable).

Special student admission requirements

High school English level of 15 out of 20 or success in English Placement Test at the University of Nicosia at BENG-100 level is required.

Course assessment usually consists of a final exam and continuous assessment. Continuous assessment may include, but is not limited to, mid-term examination, individual and group assignments, oral presentation and class participation.

Letter grades are calculated based on the weight of the final exam and the continuous assessment and the actual numerical marks obtained in these two assessment components. Based on the course grades the student’s semester grade point average (GPA) and cumulative point average (CPA) are calculated.

The student must complete 240 ECTS and all programme requirements.

A minimum cumulative grade point average (CPA) of 2.0 is required. Thus, although a ‘D-“  is a PASS grade, in order to achieve a CPA of 2.0 an average grade of ‘C’ is required.

Upon successful completion of the program, students are expected to be able to:

1. Offer their knowledge to patients and advise them on proper and normal posture and body movement.
2. Separate pathology from impairment of the various body systems and apply their knowledge to rehabilitating the impairment and pathology if the latter is possible.
3. Have a comprehensive and up-to-date knowledge in the field of physiotherapy in general and in the field of functional rehabilitation in particular.
4. Understand the indications and contraindications of applying natural means and other methods of treatment for the recovery of pathological conditions.
5. Evaluate various pathological conditions in a structured way using critical scientific understanding, record their findings and design therapeutic interventions for rehabilitation based on the latest scientific evidence (Evidence Based Physiotherapy).
6. Apply the codes of bioethics, protect patients’ privacy and personal data and respect their decisions.
7. Analyse and critically compile the available literature in the field of physiotherapy.
8. Interpret the latest scientific developments and the latest literature in the field of basic sciences (anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, neuroscience, etc.) and related specialties (medicine) and review their clinical practice accordingly.
9. Demonstrate professional behavior towards patients and other specialists and be an active and equal member of a team of health scientists.
10. Understand the methodology of scientific research and participate in clinical trials whenever necessary.
