Review

Your own development as a professional is always central, and you help shape your own route to achieving the learning objectives. During the minor you keep a personal portfolio in which your growth as a professional becomes visible. There are also a number of parts on which you must have received positive feedback, so that you can include it as evidence in your portfolio. These include a video demonstrating your coaching skills and a reporting on the innovation you have developed with your project group.

Student experiences

“The „Self-Management“ programme gave me a great basis for coaching which is in my opinion, essential for becoming an alrounded physical therapist. I liked the atmosphere during classes and the teacher was always very approachable and helpful. I especially liked the practice interviews which prepared us for a professional situation. I would recommend this programme to all students who want to have a better insight in coaching a patient and to help them in achieving their goals.” – Hong, Physiotherapy English Stream student
