About the course

A three-year bachelor’s degree in kinesiology and special motor therapy, taught in English at the Faculty of Geography, Tourism and Sport.

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. You first need a Certificate of Recognition of Studies from Romania’s Ministry of Education and Research (Stage 1), which the university’s admission process arranges.
  • The university says candidates for English-taught programmes may have an interview, depending on the faculty. The selection method for this programme is in the faculty’s admission documents, which we could not open, so check with the Faculty of Geography, Tourism and Sport.

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.
