Primary qualifying study form
The vocationally qualifying and interdisciplinary teaching approach provides students with a broad and academically underpinned qualification which allows them to work as professionals in the field of physiotherapy/occupational therapy. This also opens up the opportunity for graduates to subsequently gain further academic qualifications.
Moreover, the study programme empowers students to actively contribute towards shaping the professions in the changing healthcare system in an interdisciplinary manner. This ranges from new practices and evaluation of scientifically-based therapy through to taking on new tasks and roles in healthcare and the promotion of health.
The PQS is an attendance-based study programme with obligations to attend lectures.
As an attendance-based study programme with integrated practical study phases, the primary qualifying study form continuously links theory and practice.
Further information can be found in the current Study and Examination Regulations(valid from 27.01.2015), which describe the legal regulations of the study programme. They also contain an example programme plan, a short tabular overview of the timing of the modules. In the annex to the Study and Examination Regulations there is a module handbook with detailed information on the learning objectives, scope and content of each module.
For questions about the individual modules, please contact the relevant module coordinator. A current overview can be found on the pages of the Teaching Office.

Studies take place at ASH Berlin and at the Wannseeschulen as well as in various healthcare institutions.
The Wannseeschulen are a study location of the university and include the School of Occupational Therapy and the School of Physiotherapy. The practice-related study elements are taught here. In addition to a variety of workshops and training rooms, there is also a modern learning lab equipped with a hospital room, a bathroom and a living room. This enables students to practise diverse situations in everyday professional life in a very realistic environment, supporting the transfer between theory and practice.
Further information you can find on the website of Wannseeschulen.
Before commencing studies, please inform yourself about the travel times to the two study locations. Information on public transport can be found on the website of the Berlin transport company
In the primary qualifying study form for Physiotherapy/Occupational Therapy, students take the state examination in accordance with the training and examination ordinance for occupational therapists/physiotherapists (Section 2 ErgTh-APrV/ Section 2 PhysTh-APrV) in the sixth semester of the standard duration of studies.
If they successfully pass the examination, students are awarded state accreditation and the license to practice.
In the seventh semester, students demonstrate the scientific knowledge they have gained and their ability to apply it by writing a subject-specific Bachelor’s thesis. After successfully completing the primary qualifying study form, students receive the Europe-wide academic title of ‘Bachelor of Science’. This title represents a broad and academically underpinned programme of training which is comparable with degrees from other European countries.
Graduates of the primary qualifying study form of the programme have a variety of prospective professional fields in which they can work.
First and foremost is the ability to work with patients and clients in a scientifically-based, multi-professional, team-oriented and reflective manner. Occupational therapists and physiotherapists can be employed in hospitals, geriatric institutions, inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation facilities and outpatient practices or work on a self-employed basis. Students gain the necessary skills for working in science, management, consultancy and PR in the health sector. Graduates are also empowered to engage themselves in the politics of the profession and to contribute to the scientific grounding of their profession.
The Bachelor’s degree provides the basis for further career steps in the area of science and research. It qualifies them for a Master’s study programme in which they can expand and advance their existing knowledge and abilities.
ASH Berlin offers graduates of the primary qualifying study form further options for continuing their studies, for example the consecutive Master’s study programme in Management and Quality Development in the Health Sector. The programme qualifies professionals for management functions in healthcare and nursing institutions.
In cooperation with Charite Universitätsmedizin Berlin and Technische Universität Berlin, there is also the possibility to study Public Health. This Master’s study programme deals with the structure of healthcare and the social conditions for preserving the health of the population.
The modularisation of studies and assessment of modules in accordance with the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) guarantees transparency for other universities in Germany and abroad, promoting the mobility of students. By arrangement, it is possible for students to complete a practical study phase abroad as part of their study programme. Further information can be found in the guidelines for internships abroad in the PQS for the disciplines of Occupational therapyor Physiotherapyand from the International Office.
ASH Berlin engages itself for the academic training of physiotherapists at the European level as a member of ENPHE European Network Of Physiotherapy in Higher Education.
