Looking for a double master’s degree in Physiotherapy? At SOMT, we call this: 1 programme with 2 recognised master’s degrees. In this integrated pathway, you combine two SOMT master’s programmes and obtain two recognised master’s degrees within four years. This allows you to develop into a clinical expert with both broad and in-depth expertise in treating complex musculoskeletal conditions.
This pathway is specifically designed for ambitious physiotherapists with broad professional interests who want to deepen their knowledge and expand their role within integrated healthcare.
By combining two specialisations, you learn to approach clinical reasoning and treatment from multiple perspectives. This allows you to develop a broader specialist profile, improve your ability to manage complex patient cases, and strengthen your role within multidisciplinary healthcare teams.
This programme enables you to combine two areas of expertise within physiotherapy and develop both broader and deeper specialist knowledge. You follow one integrated pathway and ultimately obtain two recognised master’s degrees.
This offers several benefits:
As healthcare becomes increasingly complex and more care shifts towards primary healthcare settings, the demand for physiotherapists with multiple areas of expertise continues to grow. With 1 programme with 2 recognised master’s degrees, you can assess and treat complaints from different perspectives and better respond to complex healthcare needs.
All SOMT master’s programmes share content-related connections, making them suitable for combination.
Popular combination: Master Manual Therapy & Master Sports Physical Therapy
Each combination has its own specific focus and clinical strengths. Combining specialisations often creates strong synergy between different patient groups, treatment approaches and clinical perspectives.
Together with the programme directors, you can explore which combination best matches your professional interests and ambitions.
Within 1 programme with 2 recognised master’s degrees, you combine two SOMT master’s programmes in one four-year pathway. The SOMT master’s programmes share several generic modules, such as education related to pain and Evidence-Based Clinical Reasoning.
Because part of the content overlaps, you do not need to complete certain components twice. The programme consists of:
As a result, you complete 28 ECTS fewer than originally required. This creates an efficient programme in which you develop both specialisations and work towards two recognised master’s degrees.
This master’s pathway requires commitment and good planning. The programme is challenging, but can be combined with professional work when clear agreements are made with your employer.
The study load consists of:
