What about CKR registries?

I am an employer, does the WVA scheme apply?

Unfortunately, if your employee starts training at SOMT University of Physiotherapy, as an employer you are not eligible for the WVA scheme.

I have chosen the wrong profile, how can I still meet the admission requirements of the University Bachelor of Physical Therapy?

If you do not have the right diploma and subject package/profile, and thus do not meet the further pre-education requirements, you will have to take additional exams. These additional exams are organized by the CCVX. With the exception of Mathematics, these exams are in Dutch. The Mathematics exam can be taken in both English and Dutch.

I would like to provide continuing education with you. Is that possible?

If you are a Master Physical Therapist and would like to provide continuing education or in-service training with us, please contact our continuing education and in-service training coordinator. We feel very strongly about quality, so not all proposals will be accepted. Important are scientific evidence and, of course, extensive teaching experience.

Is the course, master class or symposium accredited?

Each course, master class and symposium is assessed for which KNGF register accreditation is requested. If accreditation is granted, the corresponding points are mentioned in the menu item ‘Accreditation’ of the event concerned. Sometimes the accreditation is still under application at the start of an event; we also mention this on the site. No rights can be derived from mentioning accreditation points on the site.

Can I accelerate the course or are there exemptions available?

For our HBO Master’s programs, it is possible in certain cases to receive an exemption. We can only assess this based on your personal situation. Please contact us for advice.

Also, with us it is possible, in some cases, to obtain the title of Master of Science through our accelerated pathways.

For university courses, it is not possible to accelerate the program or get exemptions.

Can I enroll with a college degree or college propaedeutic?

This is possible provided there is sufficient (demonstrable) knowledge at VWO level of the subjects Biology, Physics, Mathematics and Chemistry. A preliminary exam may be required for this. These preliminary exams are organized by the CCVX. You can present your specific case to the admissions committee at university@somt.nl. The committee will assess whether you meet the requirements and what else you need to do to be admitted.

Am I eligible for student loans?

Yes, for our university Bachelor of Physical Therapy it is possible to apply for study financing. Since the program is privately funded, you can even borrow more for tuition fees than for a regular study. You can apply for study financing via this page at the Department of Education (DUO).
