Studying rehabilitation abroad

Studying rehabilitation as an international student offers the chance to develop hands-on skills in helping patients recover and thrive after injury or illness.

Rehabilitation looks at helping people return to their full potential and best condition. Patients could be recovering from an injury or illness, or could have recently undergone a medical procedure.

There are several fields that require rehabilitation specialists and skills. As a student of rehabilitation, you will gain a range of skills, all of which are transferable across the medical field and beyond.

Undergraduate
