Students Association in Germany
Bundesjuniorenrat and Bundesstudierendenrat von Physio Deutschland
ABOUT US:
We have 2 students associations in Germany, this is caused by the rather complex education system of Physiotherapy within Germany.
We have one huge association of students who are studying at a public or private physiotherapy school (Bundesjuniorenrat) and one smaller association of students who are studying at a university (Bundesstudierendenrat).
The school education system in Germany is organized individually by the 16 federal states of Germany, that’s why the student organization of the school students is organized at the level of the federal states as well. This vocational education (degree: state examination) is still the most common education, because the academic education is very newly developed. The students of the Bundesjuniorenrat are organizing events to inform students about their professional and training opportunities, organize network-sessions for students and publish all of their information at the website of their association, to make it available for all students.
The student association of the university students is not organized at the level of federal states but at the national level. The possibility to study physiotherapy at a university is still very new and exists since 2003. All these studies were postgraduated studies and the state examination of a public or private school was needed.
The organization of the academic students organizes events for students, where they can share their experiences, discuss recent topics and can extend their knowledge.
Both student associations work closely together and have a yearly meeting. They work especially together to bring the ideas of students into the association policy and to represents the interest of students within Germany. Students of both associations are also represented in ECPTS.
