European School of Physiotherapy

Welcome to the site of the European School of Physiotherapy in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

Thank you for your interest in the European School of Physiotherapy (ESP) in Amsterdam. This website provides you with information about our school, our standard four year and an accelerated three year programme. The accelerated programme has been specifically designed for excellent students who wish to complete their studies within a short period. We hope that this information will help you to make the right decision.

Our school has a longstanding tradition of educating students in the clinical science of physiotherapy. We take pride in contributing continuously to this highly sophisticated science. Physiotherapy now forms an integral part of the Dutch health care system and is accessible to the general public.

The European School of Physiotherapy offers you one of the most challenging and high standard study programmes in Europe, leading to a Bachelor of Health (Physiotherapy) degree. We have been sharing our expertise with international students for many years. Over the past decades, more than 1,000 students with approximately more than 40 nationalities from all over the world have graduated from our school. All graduates who have obtained the relevant diploma can be included in the RIBIZ-register. RIBIZ is a division of the CIBG, an agency of the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport. You are then able to use the legally protected professional title. This registration is a licence to practice physiotherapy in the Netherlands and enables registration in most countries of the European Union.

Studying at the European School of Physiotherapy means living in Amsterdam, one of Europe's liveliest capitals. The city is not only a melting pot of cultures but also the hub of cultural activities and sporting events. Amsterdam is an international city where English is the second language of many people and you will soon feel at home there. It is also an excellent starting point from which to explore the rest of Europe

We all look forward to welcoming you in Amsterdam!
