How to become a physiotherapist in Germany after 12th in India?
Dear Manmeet, because Germany is an European country, you need to have language proficiency in German first. Then you need to appear for either IELTS or TOEFL depending on the Institution you wish to apply. Most Universities accept IELTS and so you can take up that exam. Every year approximately 7000 Students graduate in Physiotherapy from approximately 263 schools. Not necessarily all these are Graduation programmes. These are more like Diploma in Physiotherapy courses. This is a 3 year programme and Candidates are eligible for pursuing PG after Diploma course. The certificates issued are of 3 types:
- Bescheinigung certificate- the school issues this certificate to allow the student to take the examination
-
Zeugnis or Abschlusszeugnis der Berufsfachschule; completion

All Students need to register and get a license to practise PT in Germany.
