The students are taught theoretical and practical basic information in the field of physiotherapy and rehabilitation, and current education and training practices. Today, physiotherapists provide services with increasing numbers of approaches in increasing the quality of life related to independent movement and health in all situations where movement and function are threatened for various reasons. The present and future needs of societies that have become increasingly inactive due to the developing technology in the world and in our country make the development of the physiotherapist profession inevitable.

There are therapeutic movements and electrotherapy laboratories within the department and anatomy laboratory within the faculty. There are summer internships in the 2nd and 3rd classes of the education, and practical applications within the scope of clinical work in the 4th class.
