  I know who suffered because of this school. Can't recommend this place for studying... If the owner reads this, try to start a discussion with your students. You'll find interesting feedback. In our digital era it's super easy to lose your school status.

  Very low quality professors who judge students not on their performance, but on their opinion of students. If you want to study physiotherapy you should look for a different school. In fact, most HvA schools offer poor quality education. I hope they read this and realize that they need improvements badly.

  I am a current student in the program, so I could not use my real name. I applied to the program because its website looks really good and I thought it was going to be a very good program. Unfortunately I didn't find any reviews before I made my decision. Now I am going to help you make a better decision with an honest review. Now I understand that there are not so many reviews of this program because the students do not dare to make them. We all have many problems with this program but if we really say our opinion, we might be punished because so much of the grading for exams is subjective. The opinion of the administration has the ultimate say over how the students are graded and how their academic lives will go. This school has quite a low retention rate. My class started with 76 people, now only 50 made it till the second year. I don't know how many of us 50 will be able to graduate on time. Right now more than 25 people are already delayed in their studies from anywhere between 3 months to a year. This is a chance you will have to take that you have almost 40% chance of not making it till the second year. Half of my friends are not able to go on internships because of the stringent criteria for which courses need to be passed in order to go on internships. Even though this school advertise its opportunity for you to go on internships all over the world, there are many restrictions such as language, VISA issues, and the number of contacts the international office has, and the type of patients you have to fulfill for the school etc. so you end up only having a few choices anyway in the end. Furthermore, the structure of the program is so chaotic that you do not know whether you will be able to go on internships due to retakes. Sometimes you will find out you do not get to go a week beforehand. There is no way to plan long trips Some of the classes are very useful, but some are very strange and whether they are useful is questionable. Exams are many times not fair. It is also questionable sometimes how the classes really prepared us for the exams. Even though the material from the program is a mess, the head of the school is heartless and usually puts all the blame on you for your failures. He makes life harder for students for no apparent reason other than interpreting the rules letter by letter. The most often answer you hear from him is "I cannot help you because it was your own fault". This doesn't help when he has the power to determine whether you can survive the program. The Dutch law now permits only people who speak Dutch to be registered as physios. So if you do not speak Dutch, when you graduate this program you will not be able to work in the Netherlands. Of course you can go somewhere else, but then you will be subject to the accreditation process of other countries, which usually favor graduates from their own countries. Don't know if this will change later - inform yourself. Do not get me wrong. Some teachers are wonderful and truly amazing people in this program and I am very grateful for their help and real guidance. However I could not say this to the program as a whole. It has derailed my life many times. A few people do survive this program and become successful, however a few people survive in any disaster. This is a very small chance if you take a look at the majority of people that suffered tremendouly. I could not say whether this program will become better or worse, looking at it now. Amsterdam is a very nice city to live in, but do be very cautious if you want to apply for this program , because you will not have much of a life if you are studying here - even if you have always been a good student. It is not that the courses are hard, it is the way things are done around this school makes it very hard to study what matters.
