What you will learn

Health is a precious commodity, if not the most precious. However, neurological diseases which can lead to permanent disability have been on the rise. As a result, the need for neurological rehabilitation is growing. This development requires highly qualified specialists who can guarantee comprehensive care and rehabilitation for these patients, so that they can return to public, professional and social life and master their everyday lives again as independently as possible.

To tackle challenge, you will be supported by an internationally researching team of professors who possesses extensive expertise in this field and who are involved in various research projects. Thanks to their expert knowledge, passion for research, and dedication, thousands of patients have already been helped on their way to participating in public and social life.

As part of your master's degree program, we will provide you with the necessary knowledge to determine the effectiveness of rehabilitation measures on a scientific basis in the future and to make optimal use of existing resources. Leading professional associations, such as the German Society for Neurotraumatology and Clinical Neurorehabilitation, have long emphasized the increasing need for personnel to accompany scientific studies. For this reason, you will learn to underpin your therapeutic actions scientifically and empirically and develop them accordingly with a view to other disciplines and the big picture.  The focus is on the professionally coordinated interaction of different therapy professions, which is essential for the targeted treatment of your patients.

In your studies, you will not only be exposed to the theoretical development in new areas of knowledge,  but also be able to to expand your acquired knowledge in cooperation with internationally active companies and research institutions. During your internship semester, you can apply your experience to practical problems and projects and gain experience in both  national and international neurorehabilitation. In addition, many of your classroom sessions will take place at renowned rehabilitation clinics in Germany, allowing you to apply your theoretical knowledge directly in practice and learn from real treatment scenarios.

Your career prospects

Our innovative approach that pays off

With your Master's degree in Neurorehabilitation, you can pursue a wide variety of career opportunities. Qualified professionals are required to provide care for patients, while experts are needed to meet the ever increasing scientific demand for neurological rehabilitation. This puts you in an indispensable position, especially against the backdrop of demographic change and the associated rise in the number of chronically ill patients and those in need of care.

  • Management tasks in hospitals, therapy and rehabilitation centers as well as in rehabilitation clinics
  • Team / project management in outpatient practices as well as research and science institutions
  • Science and research in research and science institutions, hospitals, therapy and rehabilitation centers as well as in rehabilitation clinics
  • Teaching at universities, technical colleges and schools
  • Doctorate

Details about the study model and internship

Your studies take place part-time, in the so-called part-time study model. This means that in the first four semesters, your classroom lectures will take place twice per semester for one week each (Mon.-Sat.). This makes it possible to combine your studies ideally with your professional life and your private requirements.

Regular participation in the annual congresses of neurological rehabilitation also offer you the opportunity for professional networking as well as scientific and practical exchange. Furthermore, we offer you the opportunity to participate in regular evening journal clubs, where the latest study results are discussed online. 

During the 4th semester your 6-month internship will take place, but under certain conditions you have the possibility to shorten the regular study duration. Please feel free to contact us at any time.
