About the course

A 5-year (10-semester, 300 ECTS) long-cycle master’s in physiotherapy taught in English in Lublin. Clinical placements are integrated throughout the course, with supervised practice in clinical facilities.

Entry requirements for Irish students

• The university assesses the Irish Leaving Certificate individually and does not publish a fixed Irish requirement. Contact admissions to confirm. Your school-leaving certificate must be legalised; for Ireland this means an Apostille.
• No entrance exam or interview is described on the programme page; the admission-requirements page says an entrance exam may be held for long-cycle master’s programmes ‘where applicable’, so ask admissions whether one applies.
• English at B2 or above: TOEFL 550, IELTS 6.0 or FCE grade B.

Working in Ireland afterwards

Physiotherapy is not covered by automatic recognition. CORU checks each EU/EEA physiotherapy qualification against its Standards of Proficiency, and you need a letter of recognition before you can apply to join the Physiotherapists Register. If your training does not fully match, CORU can offer a compensation measure: a supervised adaptation period in Ireland or an aptitude test. EU/EEA-qualified physiotherapists with EU rights can also apply through the European Professional Card (EPC) route.
